I have this xml and when I try to get the node: InternetGatewayDevice->WANDevice->i2 with getElementsByTagName it fails. It works only with xpath. Here is the code:

The php:
$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$xml->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$xml->load('file.xml');
//With getElementsByTagName
echo "getElementsByTagName:<br/>";
$node_of_xml = $xml->getElementsByTagName('InternetGatewayDevice')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('WANDevice')->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('i2')->item(0);
foreach($node_of_xml->childNodes as $child) {
echo $child->nodeName ."<br/>";
}
//With xpath
echo "<br/>Xpath:<br/>";
$xpath = new DOMXPath($xml);
$results = $xpath->query('/InternetGatewayDevice/WANDevice/i2');
$node_of_xml = $results->item(0);
foreach($node_of_xml->childNodes as $child) {
echo $child->nodeName ."<br/>";
}
The output (getElementsByTagName is wrong, Xpath is correct):
getElementsByTagName:

getElementsByTagNameis not limited to direct children. And the firsti2node withinWANDeviceis/InternetGatewayDevice/WANDevice/i1/WANConnectionDevice/i1/WANIPConnection/i1/X_ZyXEL_DHCPv6Client/SentDHCPOption/i2You provided the solution by yourself: XPath.
