XML DOMDocument

Hi,

I'm wondering is there is some way to reach directly node instead of using loop. My example is:
=======================================================

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load('test.xml');

$xp = new domxpath($doc);

$titles = $xp->query("//Lines/Line/*");

foreach ($titles as $node) {
if($node->nodeName=="LineNumber")
{
$LineNumber = $node->nodeValue;
}
}
=======================================================

Instead of passing through each element can I call it directly in some way?
Something like 'node->nodeName['lineNumber'].value'...

If someone was playing with DOM and could help... thanks in advance.

You might find XPath useful:

Well, this is not the kind of help I was searching for....

 

First of all, as far as I know you can selected needed node somekind like

$titles = $xp->query("//Lines/Line/[5]");

PHP:

Or you can get like this

$titles  = $xpath->query("//Lines/Line/"); 
$titles->item(4)->nodeValue;

PHP:

 

Thanks a lot - I will try that.
