Note Submitter: azzra ---- Here the way to get an element by an unique attribute. This function return an element. function get_element_by_unique_attribute($node, $tag) { //if there are childs if($childs= $node -> child_nodes()) { //start looping foreach($childs as $c) { //check if this node is not a #text node if($c -> type == XML_ELEMENT_NODE) { //check the tag if($c -> get_attribute('YOUR_ATTRIBUTE) == $tag) { //found return $c; } else { //we restart searching at the current node to avoid infinite looping $a = get_element_by_unique_attribute($c, $tag); } } } return $a; } } I hope this helps... Thanks to nukebaghdad.
