XML Node Count

[NZ_Kiwis]

I've been given a XML URL which will provide me with results of a poll, it's a real simple poll, it has Student Name and prefered favourite class.

<Poll>
<PollResult>
<Student>Nigel</Student>
<Choice>3</Choice>
</PollResult>
<PollResult>
<Student>Kim</Student>
<Choice>9</Choice>
</PollResult>
<PollResult>
<Student>Mary</Student>
<Choice>4</Choice>
</PollResult>
<PollResult>
<Student>Tim</Student>
<Choice>9</Choice>
</PollResult>
</Poll>

I need to count how many 9's I have and how many 4's I might have. How can I do this?

$d = new DOMDocument();
$d->load('file');

$count = array();
$els = $d.getElementsByTagName('poll');
foreach ($els as $el)
{
	$c = $el.getElementsByTagName('Choice');
	if (count($c))
	{
		if ($c->nodeValue == 4)

	elseif()
}
}

Thanks, I thought I would need to do a If statment and count them that way

You were correct, and that's the part missing between the if and else statements in the code that would inevitably lead to parse errors unless you change my example code to actually do something.
