I need to show the name of the sales order owner name and their associated product name which is stored under <FL val="Product Name"> of product tag.

My code is like:

$file_sales_content = "https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/SalesOrders/getRecords?authtoken=XXX&scope=crmapi"  
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML( $file_sales_content );   
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $doc );
$items = $xpath->evaluate( '//FL[@val="Sales Order Owner"]' );
$sales_order_array = array();
for ( $i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++ ) {
 array_push($sales_order_array,$items->item( $i )->textContent);
}

where $file_sales_content returns the above xml.

But I think some shortcut method is there. If so please help me.

Thanks in advance.

I’d suggest setting up your code like this:

$file_sales_content = "https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/SalesOrders/getRecords?authtoken=XXX&scope=crmapi"  
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML( $file_sales_content );   
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $doc );
$items = $xpath->evaluate( '//FL[@val="Sales Order Owner"]' );
$sales_orders = array();
foreach ( $items as $item) {
    $sales_order = array();
    $sales_order['name'] = $item->textContent;

    $products = array();
    $childItems = $xpath->evaluate( '../FL/product/FL[@val = "Product Name"]', $item );
    foreach( $childItems as $productName) {
       $products[] = $productName->textContent;
    }       
    $sales_order['product'] = $products;
    $sales_orders[] = $sales_order;
}
