Retrieve a node specified by index in PHP

Description

The following code shows how to retrieve a node specified by index.

Example


/*from w  ww. j  a v a 2 s . c om*/
<?php

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

$items = $doc->getElementsByTagName('entry');

for ($i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++) {
    echo $items->item($i)->nodeValue . "\n";
}


//Alternatively, you can use foreach, which is a much more convenient way:


foreach ($items as $item) {
    echo $item->nodeValue . "\n";
}

?>

The following code is for test.xml.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE books [//from   w  w  w.j  a  va 2  s. c  om
  <!ELEMENT books   (book+)>
  <!ELEMENT book    (title, author+, xhtml:blurb?)>
  <!ELEMENT title   (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT blurb   (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT author  (#PCDATA)>
  <!ATTLIST books   xmlns        CDATA  #IMPLIED>
  <!ATTLIST books   xmlns:xhtml  CDATA  #IMPLIED>
  <!ATTLIST book    id           ID     #IMPLIED>
  <!ATTLIST author  email        CDATA  #IMPLIED>
