Below examples illustrate the DOMNode::getNodePath() function in PHP:
Example 1:
<?php // Create a new DOMDocument instance $dom = new DOMDocument;
// Load the XML $dom ->loadXML('
<root> <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
</root> '); // Print XPath of the element echo $dom ->getElementsByTagName( 'h1' )
->item(0)->getNodePath();
?> |
Output:
/root/h1
Example 2:
<?php // Create a new DOMDocument instance $dom = new DOMDocument;
// Load the XML $dom ->loadXML('
<root> <h1>Geeks</h1>
<div>
<h1>For</h1>
</div>
<h1>Geeks</h1>
</root> '); // Print XPath of the element for ( $i = 0; $i < 3; $i ++) {
// Print where the line where the 'node'
// element was defined in
echo $i +1 . ') The h1 tag\'s Xpath is: ' . $dom ->getElementsByTagName( 'h1' )
->item( $i )->getNodePath() . "<br>" ;
} ?> |
Output:
1) The h1 tag's Xpath is: /root/h1[1] 2) The h1 tag's Xpath is: /root/div/h1 3) The h1 tag's Xpath is: /root/h1[2]
