Think I understand what you need now. Try this: -

<?php
foreach ($transactionNodes as $singlenode) {
   $buyerobject = $singlenode->get_elements_by_tagname(\"Buyer\");
   $userid = $buyerobject[0]->get_elements_by_tagname(\"UserID\");
   if ($userid[0]->getcontent() == $ourbuyerid) {
   // Am assuming we know the buyer id we're looking for
   // (and is stored in $ourbuyerid)
      $transactionid = $buyerobject->get_elements_by_tagname(\"TransactionID\");
   }
}
echo \"<p>TransactionID = $\" . $transactionid[0]->getcontent() . \"$</p>\";
?>

I have no idea whether this will work or not (probably the latter), but should point you in the right direction. From the results of [incode]print_r($transactionNodes);[/incode] in your first post am assuming $transactionNodes is an array of 'domelement' objects, and that's the array you're trying to get the Buyer information from.

Hope this helps, let us know the results either way. Sorry I can't test this at all, it would be too difficult to replicate your environment!

Hello,
I know how to just select a buyer.userid but the XML returns an array with several buyer.userids and I need to find the transactionID where the userid I have = buyer.userid. In other words, I need to get the transactionid from an auction with several buyers (in other words several transactionid's because it is one transactionid per buyer) where the buyerid = the buyerid I have.

Thanks in advance,

Well, am no expert on the PHP XML functions but will try to help if I can.

Firstly: -

Doesn't seem to be showing the whole picture. Notice that the array elements are all [incode]domelement Object[/incode] and what is returned by the [incode]$eBayTime[0]->get_content()[/incode] function is loads more than print_r shows.

Secondly: -

Is this what was shown in your browser? My guess would be that if you look at the code of the page generated, you'll see that's XML. So hopefully you'll be able to get the userid with another [incode]get_elements_by_tagname()[/incode]

So what we need to know next is what that XML is... Hope this makes sense, and that I'm grasping what you're trying to do.

Hello again,
Basicly, in other words, what I want to do is to find the "TransactionArray.Transaction.TransactionID" for the buyer "TransactionArray.Transaction.Buyer.UserID". It is just an XML response, is there really no one who can help me with this? I'm not even sure you need to know anything about XML to be able to help me, just have better knowledge of PHP than I. I really need help because the script I'm writing on wount work without this part and I can't figure out how to do it myself.

Thanks in advance,
