Note Submitter: mikeyhopkins at hotmail dot com ---- To fix Glenn Schmidt's noted behaviour that the parent elements are searched even if your context is a child element, you can run the child element through something such as: <?php // ... set $result to contain a SimpleXML object $result = simplexml_load_string($result->asXML()); $result->xpath('/your/query/'); ?> Which will destroy any parental references. If you rely on them, then this way will not alleviate the issue.
