smt like this can do the job:
<?php
$str="<xml version bla bla><price>somevaluehere</price><price>somevaluehere2</price><price>somevaluehere2</price>etc";
preg_match_all("/<price>([^<])*<\/price>/i", $str, $matches);
echo count($matches[0]);
for ($i=0; $i< count($matches[0]); $i++) {
echo '<br> + '.$matches[0][$i];
}
?>but you'd better learn to handle xml files via xml parsers.

Subject: Easy way to grab a value out of XML?
I've been looking at the XML commands and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. My needs are simple and I'm hoping there's an easy solution that I'm just missing. I have a hunk of well-formed XML in a variable, $xml, and it contains only one instance of <price>x.xx</price>. I just want to get the $price out of $xml. What's the simplest way?
