I want to get a unique ProductRangeone based on WebCategorymy XML file. But the PHP code written below generates duplicate / duplicate results. I do not know where I am wrong!

PHP code:

  <?
 $xml =  simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('XML/products.xml'));
 $prifix = '/categories/listings/' ;
 $cat=array();
 foreach ($xml as $row) {
 $attr = $row->attributes();
 if (!in_array((string)$attr->WebCategory, $cat)){
  printf('<li>%s</li>', anchor($prifix . $attr->Code, $attr->ProductRange));
  $cat[] = (string)$attr->WebCategory;
 }
 }
 ?>

PLEASE NOTE: I want to extract ProductRangebased on a given WebCategoryeg I want to show all ProductRange according to their web category, like this select SQL query:

     "select ProductRange from XML where WebCategory='Mobiles'"

"ProductRange" ( ) XML :

Htc
Samsung
Iphone

... , "ProductRange", .

, , , , , ProductRange, .

0
1

$list = groupBy($xml, "WebCategory");
foreach ( $list['Mobiles'] as $product ) {
    printf('<li>%s %s</li>', $product->Code, $product->Name);
}

function groupBy($xml, $categoryName) {
    $xml = new \SimpleXMLElement($xml);
    $category = array();
    foreach ( $xml as $row ) {
        $attr = $row->attributes();

        if (! isset($attr->$categoryName)) {
            trigger_error("$categoryName does not exist in XML");
            break;
        }

        $category[(string) $attr->$categoryName][] = $attr;
    }
    return $category;
}
