Xpath query
 

Hi all,

I am looking for a function that finds a string from a RSS feed and retrieve the whole content of the matched nodes values.

I've made unsuccessfull tests using fn:matches function.

Here is my PHP code ;

$document = new DOMDocument();
$document->preserveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
$document->load("soccer-rss.xml");
$xpath = new DOMXPath($document);
$string="Liga";
$markup="title";
$query = '/rss/channel/item/' . $markup .'[fn:matches(".","' . $string .'")]';
$results = $xpath->query($query);
...

In this example I wanted to retrieve titles containing the word "Liga" from RSS titles.

When submitting query /rss/channel/item/title[fn:matches(".","Liga")] my code displays all titles, even those not containing the word "Liga".

Does anyone have any idea to solve this ?

Xpath query solution
 

Hi all,

I've found a solution with contains function to query by an element's enclosed text :

$query="/rss/channel/item/title[contains(.,'Liga')]";

I can get out now, I'm free :-)

Happy Sunday,

Aha! Somebody else who loves XPath as me, I suppose :-) Yes, the contains method will serve you well there.
