Hi all, I have the following segment of XML: <BookingReference ReferenceSource="api">165432 </BookingReference> Now I want to get the value of the BookingReference where the ReferenceSource = "api". In other words I want to get the value 165432. I have the following code: $ItemConfirmationReference2 = $xpath->query('BookingReference ReferenceSource' , $Element); $ItemConfirmationReference = trim($ItemConfirmationReference2->item(0)->textContent); The $Element variable passes the node that contains the BookingReference node. The tricky part for me is the ="api" part. Thanks in advance. A

Hi Angelo, Probably it is something along the lines like: $xpath->query('BookingReference/[@ReferenceSource="api"]/'); Fairly simple and XPath is way powerful! Kind regards, Aschwin Wesselius Ah, sorry about that:

$xpath->query('BookingReference[@ReferenceSource="api"]/'); There was a '/' after BookingReference..... Kind regards, Aschwin Wesselius
