RemoveChild Problem

[Jan C. <ja...@ca...>]

Hi all,

I am really fighting with this - it only removes "stand alone" childs and
not multiple child-nodes of a node:

The XML (List of birthdays per month) - (short version):

<DATA>
  <MON07>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124449</datum>
      <name>asdasd</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON07>
  <MON09>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124458</datum>
      <name>Jan</name>
      <tag>8</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON09>
  <MON10>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124443</datum>
      <name>hgvghv</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124467</datum>
      <name>adsd</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON10>
</DATA>

Now I like to delete all "geburtstag" entries which are selected by
checkboxes - the value "datum" is posted by "HTTP_POST_VARS" of the
checkboxes and used to indentify the individual entries:

//Start as usual:
              $xpath_del = new XPATH($xmlfile);
              $path = $xpath_del->evaluate("/*/*/geburtstag");

              foreach( $path as $value )
                    {
//Get the "datum" node value in the xml
                      $date = $xpath_del->getData($value."/datum[1]");
//Compare the "datum" with the values in the HTTP_POST_VARS array
                      if (array_search ($date,$HTTP_POST_VARS)!="")
                        {
//Ok - this "value" node has too be deleted:
                        echo "Now comes: ".$value."<hr>";
                        $xpath_del->removeChild($value);
                        echo "Deleted<hr>";
                        }
                    }

I get this output result:
