Is it possible to have XPath
expression with multiple contains of different element values?
XML
<data>
<person>
<firstname>Kerry</firstname>
<lastname>Packer</lastname>
<address>Crown</address>
<person>
<person>
<firstname>Kerry</firstname>
<lastname>Murdoch</lastname>
<address>California</address>
<person>
<data>
PHP
$xml = simplexml_load_string($data);
$elements = $xml->xpath("(//person)[firstname[contains(., 'Kerr')]] and [lastname[contains(., 'och')]]");
Currently above XPath
expression is flagged as invalid. However if I use it with one element,
$xml->xpath("(//person)[firstname[contains(., 'Kerr')]]");
then it works fine.
You simply want
//person[contains(firstname, 'Kerr') and contains(lastname, 'och')]
