将嵌套标记值推送到PHP数组中

Question

How can you push the sample_id value into the array using PHP DOM, along with first and samples?

I've tried adding another foreach loop, but I'm getting various notices such as

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<maintable>
  <group>
    <first>text1</first>
    <second>text2</second>
    <samples a="link" b="link">
      <sample_id>000555</sample_id>
    </samples>
  </group>
  <group>
    <first>text3</first>
    <second>text4</second>
    <samples a="link" b="link">
      <sample_id>111000</sample_id>
    </samples>
  </group>  
</maintable> 

PHP

<?php
$text = file_get_contents($file);
$content = iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8//IGNORE', $text);

$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'ISO-8859-1');
$xml->loadXML($content);
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $xml );


$query = '/maintable/group[first="text3"]';                 
$nodes = $xpath->query( $query );


$var = array();
foreach( $nodes as $k => $node )
{
    foreach( $node->childNodes as $cnode )
    {
        if ($cnode->nodeName == 'first')
        {
                $var[$k]["first"] = (string)$cnode->textContent;
        }

        if ($cnode->nodeName == 'samples')
        {
                $var[$k]["samp_url"] = (string)$cnode->getAttribute("a");

        }

        if ($cnode->nextSibling->nodeName == 'sample_id')
        {
                $var[$k]["sample_id"] = (string)$cnode->nextSibling->textContent;

        }
    }   
}
//print_r($cnode->childNodes);
?>

Attempt to loop thru nodeList

$var = array();

$nodes = $xpath->evaluate('/maintable/group[first="text3"]');
foreach ($nodes as $node) 
{
   foreach( $node->childNodes as $cnode )
   {
       if (is_array($cnode))
       {
           foreach( $cnode->childNodes as $cn )
           {
               $var[]["sample_id"] = (string)$cn->textContent;
           }
       }
   }   
}

var_dump($var);

DOMXpath::query() can only return node lists, DOMXpath::evaluate() can return scalars, too. The second argument of query()/evaluate() is the context node. If provided, the Xpath expression will be relative to it.

So you can select the node(s) first, iterate the list and use evaluate() again to fetch the values:

$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->loadXML($content);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($xml);

$results = [];

$nodes = $xpath->evaluate('/maintable/group[first="text3"]');
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
  $results[] = [
    'first' => $xpath->evaluate('string(first)', $node),
    'sample_url' => $xpath->evaluate('string(samples/@a)', $node),
    'sample_id' => $xpath->evaluate('string(samples/sample_id)', $node)
  ];
}

var_dump($results);

Output: https://eval.in/171656

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["first"]=>
    string(5) "text3"
    ["sample_url"]=>
    string(4) "link"
    ["sample_id"]=>
    string(6) "111000"
  }
}

Fetching only the sample id from the document works, too:

var_dump(
  $xpath->evaluate('string(/maintable/group[first="text3"]/samples/sample_id)')
);

Output:

string(6) "111000"
