Access an element's parent with PHP's SimpleXML?

Question

I\'m iterating through a set of SimpleXML objects, and I can\'t figure out how to access each object\'s parent node. Here\'s what I want:

$divs = simplexml-         


        

Answer 1

If memory serves, an xpath() call returns one or more SimpleXMLElements. If that's the case, then you may be able to use something like:

$div->xpath( '..' );
# or
$div->xpath( 'parent::*' );
