I am currently achieving the desired outcome with two PHP statements:
$thisBlarg = $xmlResource->xpath('//blarg[@ID='.$someBlargID.']');
echo $thisBlarg[0]->name;
But, not wanting to settle for second best, I'd really prefer this to be one statement, but PHP doesn't like this:
echo $xmlResource->xpath('//blarg[@ID='.$someBlargID.']')[0]->name;
And for good reason. But I can't find a way to force an xpath query to return the result directly. Any suggestions?
