Remove a child with a specific attribute, in SimpleXML for PHP

Question

I have several identical elements with different attributes that I\'m accessing with SimpleXML:

Answer 1

With FluidXML you can use XPath to select the elements to remove.

$doc = fluidify($doc);

$doc->remove('//*[@id="A12"]');

The XPath //*[@id="A12"] means:

• in any point of the document (//)
• every node (*)
• with the attribute id equal to A12 ([@id="A12"]).
