Using PHP Xpath loop to to get current value as a variable -

here xml:

<publications>   <publicationsgroup>     <publicationsgroupheading><![cdata[2013]]></publicationsgroupheading>     <publicationslist>       <publicationdetails> text1.....</publicationdetails>       <publicationdetails> text2.....</publicationdetails>     </publicationslist>   </publicationsgroup> <publications/> 

in php code want loop through publicationdetails elements , assing current value varaible.

here's php code:

foreach($publicationsgroupheadingyear->publicationslist $publicationslistbyyear )  {     foreach($publicationslistbyyear->publicationdetails $publicationdetailsbyyear)      {         $publicationdetailsvalue = $publicationslistbyyear->publicationdetails;      } } 

i can seeem first value ('some text1') in $publicationdetailsvalue

that's because you're looping on <publicationdetails/>, not using value.

use inner loop variable instead.

    $publicationdetailsvalue = $publicationdetailsbyyear;
