']'); ? 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.

now I need to pass this value to XPath within a string variable say $v = $row->xpath('//membernumber[. = $MemberId]'); But this doesnt work due to the quotes. What I intend PHP to do is to substitute the value for $MemberId and then execute the XPath query. I have grappled with it for a few days before posting this.
