Question

how to retrieve both instances of element in an xml file

here is how i have been getting the others

    $LargeImage = $xml->Items->Item->LargeImage->URL;
    $author = $xml->Items->Item->ItemAttributes->Author;
echo ($author);  

however for $author, there are 2 authors and the element is like this

Items->Item->ItemAttributes->
<Author>Ralph Bravaco</Author>
<Author>Shai Simonson</Author>

so my current code is only able to get back the first author

Answer 1

Try this:

foreach($xml->Items->Item->ItemAttributes->Author as $author) {
    echo (string)$author.'<br>';
}

It will echo all authors irrespective of no. of authors.
