I'm having some trouble with SimpleXML XPath...???

Asked by angelleye in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: PHP

I'm working with the following XML: http://sandbox.angelleye.com/client_sites/dealexpress/DE20/temp/test.xml

This particular XML only has a single <BestOffer> node but there could be many within the <BestOfferArray> node.

I need to select the Price value from the BestOffer node where Status = Accepted.

When I write $Ack to the screen I get Success as expected.

I've used this same XPath in an ASP script that I've done that I'm converting to PHP and I can't figure out what the difference is.  I'm just getting nothing back, no errors or anything.  

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!Start Free Trial

$GetBestOffersSimpleXML = simplexml_load_string($GetBestOffersResponse);
 
$Ack = $GetBestOffersSimpleXML -> Ack;
 
if($Ack == "Success" || $Ack == "Warning")
{
	$AcceptedOfferPrice = $GetBestOffersSimpleXML -> xpath("BestOfferArray/BestOffer/Price[../Status='Accepted']");
	echo $AcceptedOfferPrice;
	exit();
}
