Let me try to be more clear..
Say you got the element <elem key="peter"> , then I want the DOMDocument
to automatically convert the 'key' attribute to an ID-Attribute, as done
with DOMElement::setIdAttribute() function. The ID-Attribute is indexed
and can be quickly gotten via DOMDocument::getElementById() function.
I'm trying to avoid looping on all nodes overriding the importNode() and
__construct() methods of DOMDocument.
Add a DTD to the document defining your attribute as an ID.
$xml = <<<EOXML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE note [
<!ATTLIST elem key ID #IMPLIED>
]>
<doc>
<elem key="peter">This is Peter</elem>
<elem key="sam">This is Sam</elem>
<elem key="mike">This is Mike</elem>
</doc>
EOXML;
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
if ($elem = $dom->getElementByID("sam")) {
print $elem->textContent;
} else {
print "Element not found";
}
