Getting xml data where attribute equals number

I am trying to implement the Expedia API and I have run into an issue. I need to get the description tag of a parent tag with a certain attribute number. This is what I have tried and it is not working:

$data->RoomTypes->RoomType['roomCode="17918"']->description;

I do not know if this is the right syntax. If I were going to look for it in mysql it would look something like this:

mysql_query("SELECT description FROM RoomType WHERE roomCode = '17918'");

How would I go about doing this in xml with php?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

Generally speaking, for XML queries, node attributes must be prefaced with a @ for matching. You haven't specified what XML library you're using but if it's following conventions/standards, you'd probably want

$data->RoomTypes->RoomType['@roomCode="17918"']->description;
                            ^---

instead.
