Managed to resolve it. Phew!
$v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = ' . '"' . $MemberId . '"' . ']');
works.

Whats wrong with
$v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = ' . $MemberId . ']');
?
Am I not understanding what you are trying to ask?
--------------------
I tried this but doesn't work. I guess the above statement is
concatenating the entire string and the substitution isn't happening
What I am trying to do is as follows
$MemberId = 'A192';
$v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = ' . $MemberId . ']');
The $MemberId should be substituted with A192 and then the xpath query
should be executed. The result should be that I locate the membernumber
XML element that has the value A912.

now I need to pass this value to XPath within a string variable say
$v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = $MemberId]');
But this doesnt work due to the quotes. What I intend PHP to do is to
substitute the value for $MemberId and then execute the XPath query. I
have grappled with it for a few days before posting this.

Did you try using double quotes?
