How to get attribute value using node value in PHP DOM XPath

Question

I have XML structure like below. XML is very large I am just showing related part.

<data>
    <book>
        <name xml:lang='Eng'>someValue</name>
    </book>
</data>

I have to find out attribute value using node value. I have values of all book names in array. So I have value someValue using it I have to find out value of attribute xml:lang. Expected output is Eng in this case. I searched for answer but all are for reverse case that is get node value using attribute value

Try the following XPath

//data/book/name[text()='someValue']/@xml:lang"

The xml: namespace is included in the XML spec and so doesn't need to be defined separately.
