<?php

// We have the following XML and wish to find the value of the time attribute where msg = "alert-from".

// <cdr id="4e5d3e7f41bf6201ad81000c29703270" e164="6207">
//     <user>
//         <grp name="wfln" mode="active"/>
//     </user>
//     <event msg="setup-to" time="287069" e164="5034"/>
//     <event msg="alert-from" time="287069" e164="5034"/>
//     <event msg="rel-to" time="287079" e164="5034"/>
// </cdr>

// First, build the above XML:

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Xml')
$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$xml->Tag = 'cdr';
$xml->AddAttribute('id','4e5d3e7f41bf6201ad81000c29703270');
$xml->AddAttribute('e164','6207');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('user|grp',1,'name','wfln');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('user|grp',1,'mode','active');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event',1,'msg','setup-to');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event',1,'time','287069');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event',1,'e164','5034');

$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event[1]',1,'time','287069');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event[1]',1,'e164','5034');

$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event[2]',1,'time','287079');
$xml->UpdateAttrAt('event[2]',1,'e164','5034');

// Show that we have the above XML
print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// Find the element where msg = "alert-from"
// This updates the xml object's reference to the found element (if successful).
$notUsed = $xml->chilkatPath('/A/event,msg,alert-from|$');
if ($xml->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print 'Not found.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the value of the "time" attribute.
print 'time = ' . $xml->getAttrValue('time') . "\n";

// Restore the xml object's internal reference to the root of the XML document
