Re: parse string

["Richard Lynch" <ceo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Simple XML *should* give you all the info somewhere in its data
structures.

If not, there are at least 2 or 3 other XML parsers that have been
built s extensions to PHP over the years.

Plus there is at least one XML parser in PEAR, and probably one or
more in PECL.

A quick search on http://php.net will find them.

If all else fails, and you're really really stuck with no XML parsers
due to brain-dead web-hosting, it should take you about an hour to
hack a script to use http://php.net/explode and/or
http://php.net/preg_match_all to get the info you want, *IF* the XML
is predictable.

It is NOT recommended that you do this, but here is a start if you
really have no way to get a real XML parser on-board:

$string = '[insert your XML here]';
preg_match_all('/<(a-z)+\\s*(([a-z]+)="([^"]*)"\\s*)*\\s*\\/>/isU',
$string, $matches);
var_dump($matches);

You may want to find and download "The Regex Coach" program to help
you learn/understand Regular Expressions.
