Hello nathan,

I am unsing simplexml as it looks really simple :-) However, I could still
not figure out how to adress data inside tags with attributes. For example:

<anhang location="INTERN" gruppe="TITELBILD">
       <data>bla blub</data>

$xml->anhang[intern][titelbild]->data will not work.


again, ill need some clarification.  are you trying to get the data node
directly, OR, are you trying to get the contents of all nodes which are
descendants of anhang nodes, w/ attributes location and gruppe, having
values INTERN and TITLEBILD respectively?

these are two different the things, the former being, well simple

$xml->anhang->data

the latter i would do via xpath, which SimpleXML supports as well.

I think you hit the nail on the head with XPath nathan;

//anha...@location='INTERN' and @gruppe='TITELBILD']/data

which would be requiring DOMDocument and DOMXPath

<?php
$xml = 'your xml here';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);

$query = '//anha...@location='INTERN' and @gruppe='TITELBILD']/data';

$entries = $xpath->query($query);
// for loop the entries or whatever here..
?>
