Actually, after a couple of hours of testing, I can't do something with it: I'm trying to get the value of an argument from a know element. for exemple, my xml file (successfully validated) begin like that: <list> <document> <content category="journal" revision="0.1.b"/> <date revision="2000-12-31 15:54:00" revision_datestamp="9945456654" creation="2000-12-31 15:54:00" creation_datestamp="9945456654"/> . . . </document> </list> and I don't know how to get //list/document/date/@creation (those XPath request works with the enlightning script exemple) If i do (based on the German government reasearch tool): <? $xml = new XML("test.xml"); $test = $xml->evaluate("//list/*"); ?> here is the title : <? echo $xml->get_content($doc."/title[1]"); ## this works fine. ?><br> here is the creation date : I don't know how to get it!!
