XPath with multiple contains on different elements
contains, php, simplexml, xml, xpath
Solution
You simply want
//person[contains(firstname, 'Kerr') and contains(lastname, 'och')]
Problem
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.
