jQuery-like selectors for PHP DOMDocument

Question

I'm working with a `DOMDocument`, and I'm wondering if there exists some way of using CSS-like selectors to select nodes like we would in jQuery. Example situation: I'm parsing an XML file, one snippet of which looks like this: ``` Reference rates European Central Bank ``` Accessing this structure with jQuery-like selectors would be dead simple. For example, I could use ``` $("Cube[currency]") ``` to retrieve all the `Cube` elements with the 'currency' attribute. But how can I do the same thing with PHP's `DOMDocument`? I'd like to select elements which have an attribute, or have a particular attribute value.

Accepted Answer

If you want to manipulate the DOM ala Jquery, PHPQuery is something for you.

http://code.google.com/p/phpquery/

A simple example of what you can do with it.

```
// almost everything can be a chain
$li = null;
$doc['ul > li']
        ->addClass('my-new-class')
        ->filter(':last')
                ->addClass('last-li');
```
