You cant remove foreach element, but can for example so

for($i=count($xml->class); $i--; ) unset($xml->class[$i]);

Or

for($i=count($xml->class); $i--; )  
   if ($xml->class[$i] == AnyValue)   
       unset($xml->class[$i]);

I think that foreach($values as $k=>&$v) does make you unset($v) or at-least unset($values[$k]) – Daniel Krom Jul 23 '15 at 20:21

first `foreach($values as $k=>&$v)` does not work. 2nd - maybe – splash58 Jul 23 '15 at 20:39

tested, 2nd does not work too. In loop `foreach($xml->class as $k=>$v)` $k is `class` - name of node – splash58 Jul 23 '15 at 20:43
