ive been really lazy about testing stuff first today :), but why not just
rock it out w/ SimpleXML,
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
$searchResult = $xml->xpath('//anhang[@location='INTERN' and
@gruppe='TITELBILD']/data');
at least im just saying you dont NEED DOMDocument & DOMXPath, but def, that
is an alternative to SimpleXML.
