I have a XML (simplified) like this:
<article>
<title>My Article</title>
<image src="someurl.jpg" />
<image src="someotherurl.jpg" />
</article>
How do I select the <image> elements? They have the same name. To select the <title> i simply do this:
$xml = simplexml_load_file( "theurltomyxml.xml" );
$article = $xml->article;
$title = $article->title;
But how do I get the images? They have the same name! Just writing $article->image won't work.
I know this is an older question/answer but I had a similar issue and solved it by using the second solution by ajreal with a few adjustments of my own. I had a series of top level nodes (the xml was not formatted properly and didn't split the elements into parent nodes - out of my control). So I used a for loop that counts the elements then used ajreal's solution to echo back the contents I wanted with the iteration of $i.
My use was a bit different than above so I've tried to change it to make it more relevant to your images issue. Anyone please let me know if I made a mistake.
$campaigns = $xml->children();
for($i=0;$i<=$campaigns->count();$i++){
echo $campaigns[$i]->article->title . $campaigns[$i]->article->image[0];
}
You can do this :-
foreach ($xml->xpath("/article/image") as $img)
{
...
}
Or (is list of image node, so normal way of access array is workable)
$xml->image[0];
$xml->image[1];
