Return an element from an xml_nodeList

Use the [xml_nodeList->item]  method.

This example retrieves the "date" node of the 3rd Monday from a list of dates stored in an xml document.

Note: whitespace is included in the xml snippet for readability only.

Code

var( aMonth = xml('<weekday day="Monday">
                       <date>4</date><date>11</date><date>16</date><date>23</date><date>30</date>
                  </weekday>') )

var( mondays = $aMonth->childNodes )

$mondays->item(2)

Result

<date>16</date>
