# DOMDocument->getElementById()

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

DOMDocument->getElementById() -- Searches for an element with a certain id

## Beschreibung

class DOMDocument {
DOMElement getElementById ( string elementId )
}

This function is similar to DOMDocument->getElementsByTagName() but searches for an element with a given id.

According to the DOM standard this requires a DTD which defines the attribute ID to be of type ID. You need to validate your document with DOMDocument->validate() or DOMDocument->validateOnParse before using this function.

## Parameter Liste

elementId

  The unique id value for an element.

## Rückgabewerte

Returns the DOMElement or `NULL` if the element is not found.

## Beispiele

Beispiel 1. DOMDocument->getElementById() Example

`<?php $doc = new DomDocument; // We need to validate our document before refering to the id $doc->validateOnParse = true; $doc->Load('book.xml'); echo "The element whose id is books is: " . $doc->getElementById('books')->tagName . "\n"; ?>`

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

    The element whose id is books is: chapter
