Hi guys,

My question is, is it possible to get the Article ID, when you have the title of the article?(via xpath)

Articles
         Article ID="1"
         title crack  /title
         content    blablabalbal    /content
         /Article

/Articles

Because i am using this right now, it isnt working though.

$xml = simplexml_load_file("Articles.xml");
$XElement = new SimpleXMLElement($xml->asXML());

$Articles = $XElement->xpath("Article");  

$title = "crack";

$elements = count($Articles);

for($i = 0; $i title;

 if($Titles == $title) //This is not working? i dont know why?
 {
  $AID = (string)$Articles[$i][@"ID"];
 }
}
