Whats wrong with
$v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = ' . $MemberId . ']');
?
Am I not understanding what you are trying to ask?
--------------------
I tried this but doesn't work. I guess the above statement is concatenating the entire string and the substitution isn't happening
What I am trying to do is as follows
$MemberId = 'A192';
$v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = ' . $MemberId . ']');
The $MemberId should be substituted with A192 and then the xpath query should be executed. The result should be that I locate the membernumber XML element that has the value A912.
Best regards

What I intend PHP to do is to substitute the value for $MemberId and then execute the XPath query.
