Accessing child element - php

Question

I have this xml code, and I need to get every value from . I've tried but what I get is only the first value of . I wonder what's wrong with my code.
Here's the xml code:
<item>
<g:detailed_images>
<g:detailed_image>hat.png</g:detailed_image>
<g:detailed_image>tie.png</g:detailed_image>
<g:detailed_image>eye_glass.png</g:detailed_image>
<g:detailed_image>watch.png</g:detailed_image>
</g:detailed_images>
</item>
<item>
<g:detailed_images>
<g:detailed_image>shoe.png</g:detailed_image>
<g:detailed_image>socks.png</g:detailed_image>
<g:detailed_image>hand_gloves.png</g:detailed_image>
<g:detailed_image>scarf.png</g:detailed_image>
</g:detailed_images>
</item>
And this is my code:
foreach($xpath->evaluate('//item') as $item)
{
$detailed_images = $xpath->evaluate('g:detailed_images', $item);
foreach ($detailed_images as $img)
{
$simg = $xpath->evaluate('string(g:detailed_image)', $img);
echo 'image = ';
echo $simg;
}
}
My result is:
image = hat.png
image = shoe.png
While what I want is this:
image = hat.png
image = tie.png
image = eye_glass.png
image = watch.png
image = shoe.png
image = socks.png
image = hand_gloves.png
image = scarf.png
Thanks for the help.

As you can see, you're only getting the first detailed_image of each detailed_images. So, keeping the way you're doing it, you'd need to have another foreach on $simg and print each resulting node. But you don't need to do all that XPath querying to get those elements. You can get there just fine with only one query:
//item/g:detailed_images/g:detailed_image
PHP Code:
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML($xml);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
foreach($xpath->evaluate('//item/g:detailed_images/g:detailed_image') as $item) {
var_dump($item->nodeValue);
}
