Thanks, Eliot.
Unfortunately none of your suggestions work. I get
*Warning*: SimpleXMLElement::xpath(): Invalid expression
bool(false)
As I said in my previous email, the expression below seems to work,
following Michael's tip:
$xliff->xpath('//target[parent::trans-unit[@id="xxx"]]')[0]->__toString()
However, I'm curious about (and not familiar with) the *: Could you explain
what it means? Thanks.
Cheers, Manuel

Most like the elements are in a namespace, so your match expressions will
not match.
You can test that by changing "//target[parent::trans-unit[@id="xxx"]]"
to //*:target[parent::*:trans-unit[@id="xxx"]]
If the @id value will be unique within the document then you can do
something like:
//*[@id = 'xxx']/*:target
Also, since you know the structure, you can replace "//", which is very
inefficient, with "/*/*/*" (if I've counted the ancestor levels correctly).
Cheers,
Eliot

Subject: [xsl] Xpath to node that has a parent with a certain attribute
Hi there,
I'm struggling to match a node where the parent has a particular id,
perhaps someone can help me.
This is my data:
<xliff>
<file>
<header/>
<body>
(...)
<trans-unit id="xxx>
<source xml:lang="en">foo</source>
<target xml:lang="sl" state="zzz">bar</target>
</trans-unit>
I have parsed the file and I am trying expressions
$xliff->xpath('//target[parent::trans-unit[@id="xxx"]]')
and
$xliff->xpath('//trans-unit[@id="xxx"]/target')
but they both give me the same result:
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#8 (1) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["state"]=>
string(22) "zzz"
}
}
}
My expected result is "bar"
What I doing wrong?
I'm doing this in php 5.5.11 with libxml Version 2.9.1.
Thank you so much.
Cheers, Manuel
