I have an XML file with data stored like this:

<myxml>
<item name="column18">88744544</item>
<item name="column11">47884994</item>
<item name="column3">44788894</item>
</myxml>

I need to first check (and be sure that) column11 is defined (there is no particular order), and then get its value.

Using simple XML is not seeming to work too well.

I have the following, but the value is missing.

<?php
if (count($xml->myxml->item) > 0)
{
 foreach ($xml->myxml->item as $item)
 {
  var_dump($item->attributes());
 }
}
?>
