PHP: Search for a string in XML

Question

I try the search code below but it is only showing the first child node. Is something missing from my code?

----catalog.xml----

Answer 1

I think this is what you want

<?php
$catalog = simplexml_load_file("catalog.xml");
$category = $catalog->Category;
$found = false;
foreach($category as $c)
{
    $menu = (string) ($c->Name);
    if ($menu == "CAT1" )
    {
        foreach ($c->Location as $loc)
        {
            echo $loc->Room;
        }
        $found = true; break;
    }
}
if (!$found)
{
    echo "No result";
}
?>

Remove the break; statement if you can have more than one Category with the searched Name element.

Answer 2

Try to revise your code to:

echo $category->Location[$i]->Room;
