Hi,
I didn't quite know where this should go inside the PHP user manual.
It is a collection of six simple tricks I use to give websites that
extra flair of functionality.

I hope you find the auto-complete city and country is especially useful.
Sincerely,
Dave Jarvis
Dave:
Thanks for posting your code -- it works great!
However, I detected a slight problem, which can be corrected like so.
//-------------------------------------------
function get_tag_contents( $xml, $tag )
{
$result = "";
$s_tag = "<$tag>";
$s_offs = strpos( $xml, $s_tag );
// Note, use === because == will not work as expected.
// The position of the first character is zero not one.
if ($s_offs === false)
{
echo ("(1) The needle was not found in the haystack \" $xml\".");
}
else
{
$e_tag = "</$tag>";
$e_offs = strpos( $xml, $e_tag, $s_offs );
// If we have both tags, then dig out the contents.
//
if( $e_offs === false )
{
echo ("(2) The needle was not found in the haystack \" $xml\".");
}
else
{
$result = substr(
$xml,
$s_offs + strlen( $s_tag ),
$e_offs - $s_offs - strlen( $e_tag ) + 1 );
}
}
return $result;
}
