I've generally found O'Reilly books to be well put together with examples to lead you through. There may be access to sections of the books on the internet to see if you like them. Some retailers let you preview, so to speak.
There are doubtless many other sources too that a carefully crafted search may get you. Phrases such a "python introduction" or similar may get better results that too many more common words.
Regards,
Robin

domdocument.getelementbyid
DOMDOCUMENT.GETELEMENTBYID(3) 1 DOMDOCUMENT.GETELEMENTBYID(3)
DOMDocument::getElementById - Searches for an element with a certain id
SYNOPSIS
public DOMElement DOMDocument::getElementById (string $elementId)
DESCRIPTION
This function is similar to "DOMDocument::getElementsByTagName" but searches for an element with a given id.
For this function to work, you will need either to set some ID attributes with "DOMElement::setIdAttribute" or a DTD which defines an
attribute to be of type ID. In the later case, you will need to validate your document with "DOMDocument::validate" or DOMDocument::$vali-
dateOnParse before using this function.
PARAMETERS
o $elementId
- The unique id value for an element.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the DOMElement or NULL if the element is not found.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
DOMDocument::getElementById() Example
The following examples use book.xml which contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE books [
<!ELEMENT books (book+)>
<!ELEMENT book (title, author+, xhtml:blurb?)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT blurb (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST books xmlns CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST books xmlns:xhtml CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST book id ID #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST author email CDATA #IMPLIED>
]>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?>
<books xmlns="http://books.php/" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<book id="php-basics">

<?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 'php-basics' is: " . $doc->getElementById('php-basics')->tagName . "
";
?>
The above example will output:
The element whose id is 'php-basics' is: book
