get DomXPath value by attribute "name"

I'm trying to get CIK codes from EDGAR. They don't give ids to their elements, but they at least give a name.

In this case, when there's a result, the page will have a hidden with name="CIK".

I've got the page in a DOMDocument and that in a DomXPath. How do I get the value of that field?

Many thanks in advance!

Simple once you wind your way through the docs.

$CIK = $finder->query("//hidden[@name='CIK']");

Oh, I wouldn't use that though. Their html is nothing but a mess and gave errors all over the place.

Use this instead.
