SimpleXML get certain value based on a field

I'm trying to get the url of PRINT_POSITION_URL based on PRODUCT_NUMBER.

For product with product number 7375-06 i want to get PRINT_POSITION_URL color="06", for product with product number 7375-04 i want to get PRINT_POSITION_URL color="04" etc.

These two values are in different XML files which i am getting them from url and they are related with a field PRODUCT_PRINT_ID.

Here is my first XML file(products.xml):

<PRODUCTS>
  <PRODUCT>
    <PRODUCT_NUMBER>7375-06</PRODUCT_NUMBER>
    <PRODUCT_NAME>Soft ball</PRODUCT_NAME>
    <PRODUCT_PRINT_ID>40002010</PRODUCT_PRINT_ID>
  </PRODUCT>
</PRODUCTS>

And here is my second XML file(print-info.xml):

<PRINTINGINFORMATION>
  <PRODUCTS>
    <PRODUCT>
     <PRODUCT_PRINT_ID>40002010</PRODUCT_PRINT_ID>
      <PRINTING_POSITIONS>
        <PRINTING_POSITION>
          <PRINT_POSITION_URL color="04">https://thumb_7375_04.jpg</PRINT_POSITION_URL>
          <PRINT_POSITION_URL color="05">https://thumb_7375_05.jpg</PRINT_POSITION_URL>
          <PRINT_POSITION_URL color="06">https://thumb_7375_06.jpg</PRINT_POSITION_URL>
        </PRINTING_POSITION>
      </PRINTING_POSITIONS>
    </PRODUCT>
  </PRODUCTS>
</PRINTINGINFORMATION>

Here is what I've tried based on @Barand answer in another topic and i want to thank him for his help.

<?php
header ("Content-Type:text/xml");
$xmlA = simplexml_load_file('ftp://.../prodinfo_EN.xml');
$xmlB = simplexml_load_file('ftp://.../printinfo.xml');

// create empty output xml object
$final = new simpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><PRODUCTINFORMATION></PRODUCTINFORMATION>'); 
$products = $final->addChild("PRODUCTS");

  foreach ($xmlA->PRODUCTS->PRODUCT as $proda) {
    $prodbaseno = (string)$proda->PRODUCT_NUMBER;
    $prodname = (string)$proda->PRODUCT_NAME;
    $prodprintid = (string)$proda->PRODUCT_PRINT_ID;

    // build the output xml
    $prodnew = $products->addChild('PRODUCT');
    $prodnew->addChild('PRODUCT_NUMBER', $prodbaseno);
    $prodnew->addChild('PRODUCT_NAME', $prodname);
    $prodnew->addChild('PRODUCT_PRINT_ID', $prodprintid);

    // find related field from xml file B based on PRODUCT_PRINT_ID
    if ($prodarr = $xmlB->xpath("PRODUCTS/PRODUCT[PRODUCT_PRINT_ID='$prodprintid']")) {
        $prodb = $prodarr[0];

        $prtposns = $prodnew->addChild('PRINTING_POSITIONS');
        foreach ($prodb->PRINTING_POSITIONS->PRINTING_POSITION as $prtpos )   {
            $posnew = $prtposns->addChild('PRINTING_POSITION');
            $posnew->addChild('PRINT_POSITION_URL', $prtpos->PRINT_POSITION_URL);
        }
    }

  }

echo $final->saveXml();
?>

And here is the output:

<PRODUCTINFORMATION>
  <PRODUCTS>
    <PRODUCT>
      <PRODUCT_NUMBER>MO7375-06</PRODUCT_NUMBER>
      <PRODUCT_NAME>Soft ball</PRODUCT_NAME>
      <PRODUCT_PRINT_ID>40002010</PRODUCT_PRINT_ID>
        <PRINTING_POSITIONS>
          <PRINTING_POSITION>
            <PRINT_POSITION_URL color="04">https://thumb_7375_04.jpg</PRINT_POSITION_URL>
          </PRINTING_POSITION>
        </PRINTING_POSITIONS>
    </PRODUCT>
  </PRODUCTS>
</PRODUCTINFORMATION>

As you can see I'm getting the PRINT_POSITION_URL for color="04" but i want PRINT_POSITION_URL for color="06" based on PRODUCT_NUMBER.

I should probably use xpath with substring-after method but i can't get it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't get the right results with the following.

$xmlB->xpath("//PRODUCT//PRINT_POSITION_URL[@color=substring-after('{$tnum}','-')]/text()");

I tried this in my first foreach with no luck.

$resultA = $xmlA->xpath("//PRODUCTS//PRODUCT");
$num = $xmlA->xpath("//PRODUCT//PRODUCT_NUMBER/.");
$tnum = implode($num);
$resultB = $xmlB->xpath("//PRODUCT//PRINT_POSITION_URL[@color=substring-after('{$tnum}','-')]/text()");

foreach ($resultB as $prtpos )   {
    $prodnew->addChild('PRINT_POSITION_URL', $prtpos);
}

After trying to find for a solution i found out that

$resultB = $xmlB->xpath("//PRODUCT//PRINT_POSITION_URL[@color=substring-after('{$tnum}','-')]/text()");

isn't working. If i replace

 [@color=substring-after('{$tnum}','-')] 

with the product number for example  

[@color=substring-after('MO7375-06','-')]

outputs the right result. Any thoughts?
