Are the keys guaranteed to be unique? If not, you can't do that, because the IDs have to be unique, no? I suspect you'll simply have to walk the whole thing and do it the hard way, if it's even a Good Idea... You might be better off taking a step back and asking the list how they solved whatever problem you're trying to solve with auto-generating the IDs, as there may be a Better Way... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

Say you got the element , then I want the DOMDocument
to automatically convert the 'key' attribute to an ID-Attribute, as done
with DOMElement::setIdAttribute() function. The ID-Attribute is indexed
and can be quickly gotten via DOMDocument::getElementById() function.
I'm trying to avoid looping on all nodes overriding the importNode() and
__construct() methods of DOMDocument.
Add a DTD to the document defining your attribute as an ID.
$xml = <<
]>
This is Peter
This is Sam
This is Mike
EOXML;
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
if ($elem = $dom->getElementByID("sam")) {
print $elem->textContent;
} else {
print "Element not found";
}
