Remove a xml node with specific attribute ?

Hi all,

I am using simplexml and xpath to look for a particular node.
I can find the correct node but i can't remove it

testing function so far

function deleteXMLnode($lang, $xmlNode) {
	//get the xml file
	$xml = simplexml_load_file("../assets/xml/content-".$lang."2.xml", 'SimpleXMLElement' , LIBXML_NOCDATA);
	//find the right node to delete based on attribute
	$data  = $xml->xpath("//page[@gotoURL='".$xmlNode."']");
	//test find query
	foreach($xml->xpath("//page[@gotoURL='".$xmlNode."']") as $found) {
			echo "test: ".$found->pageTitle;//this is the right node
			unset($xml->$found);
		}
	//exit;

	//actual delete
	//unset($xml->$data);
	echo $xml->asXML();
	exit;
	//save the new xml
	file_put_contents("../assets/xml/content-".$lang."2.xml", $content);
}
deleteXMLnode('en', 'produkt/name')

Code (markup):

any ideas?

 

ok i think i found a workable solution (tx to http://www.tutorialhero.com/click-61225-deleting_elements_nodes_using_simple_xml.php)

function deleteXMLnode2($lang, $xmlNode) {
	 //header ("content-type: text/xml");
	//Get the XML file 
	$data = file_get_contents("../assets/xml/content-".$lang.".xml");
	//Make the XML file into a Simple XML Object
	$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
	//Loop through the nodes and
	//If we find the node with the attribute 
	foreach($xml->xpath("//page[@gotoURL='".$xmlNode."']") as $found){ 
			//We make that node into a DOM object
			$dom = dom_import_simplexml($found);
			//Then we delete that node 
			$dom->parentNode->removeChild($dom); 
	}
	$content = $xml->asXml();
	//exit;
	//save the new xml
	file_put_contents("xml/content-".$lang.".xml", $content);
}

Code (markup):

I just have to figure out the different parent and childs used in my particular xml file.
