Re: remove SimpleXML nodes

Yes, I agree. SimpleXML is limited. Do not expect to find advanced features in SimpleXML. Regards. On 8/31/06, Jay Paulson <Jay.Paulson@wholefoods.com> wrote:

So I want to do... $xmlDatabase = new SimpleXMLElement($myXML); foreach ($xmlDatabase as $oneTable) { if ($oneTable['name'] == 'two') {

      unset($oneTable);   // <-- and this doesn't work...

} }

I tried to do the same a while back and could not figure it out. I think that SimpleXML is just that - simple. You should rather try using DOMXML functions, or as I did, roll an XML parser and do it like that. Why can't you just recreate the XML and skip the node you don't want to include? So something like below: foreach ($xmlDatabase as $oneTable) {

    // skip node you don't want in your final xml output
    if ($oneTable['name'] != 'two')
    {
        ....
    }
