(PHP 5, PHP 7)
Retrieves a node specified by index
DOMNode DOMNodelist::item ( int $index )
Retrieves a node specified by index within the DOMNodeList object.
Tip
If you need to know the number of nodes in the collection, use the length property of the DOMNodeList object.
Parameters:
index
Index of the node into the collection.
Returns:
The node at the indexth position in the DOMNodeList, or NULL if that is not a valid index.
Examples:
Traversing all the entries of the table
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->load('book.xml');
$items = $doc->getElementsByTagName('entry');
for ($i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++) {
echo $items->item($i)->nodeValue . "\n";
}
?>
Alternatively, you can use foreach, which is a much more convenient way:
<?php
foreach ($items as $item) {
echo $item->nodeValue . "\n";
}
?>
The above example will output:
