RE: Need help with RegEx

If you didn't say "using regex" this is how I'd do it  (untested, forgive typos and such..ripped from some code I actively use and stripped down):

<?PHP

  $_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER = xml_parser_create();
  xml_set_element_handler($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, 'xml_response_open_element_function', 'xml_response_close_element_function');
  xml_set_character_data_handler($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, 'xml_response_handle_character_data');
  xml_parse($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, $_XML_RESPONSE, strlen($_XML_RESPONSE));
  xml_parser_free($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER);
~
  $FoundStatusTag = false;
~
  function xml_response_open_element_function($p, $element, $attributes) {
    global $FoundStatusTag;
~~
    if (strtoupper($element) == "STATUS") $FoundStatusTag = true;
  }
~
  function xml_response_close_element_function($p, $element){
    global $FoundStatusTag;
~  
    // do nothing special for now
  }
~
  function xml_response_handle_character_data($p, $cdata){ 
    global $FoundStatusTag;
~  
    if ($FoundStatusTag) {
      echo $cdata;
      $FoundStatusTag = false;
    }
  }

?>

= = = Original message = = =

The example provided didn't work for me.  It gave me the same string without
anything modified.

I am also looking for this solution to strip out text from some XML response
I get from posting data to a remote server.  I can do it using substring
functions but I'd like something more compact and portable. (A one-liner
that I could modify for other uses as well)

Example 1:
<someXMLtags>
~<status>16664 Rejected: Invalid LTV</status>
</someXMLtags>

Example 2:
<someXMLtags>
~<status>Unable to Post, Invalid Information</status>
</someXMLtags>

I want what is inside the <status> tags.

Does anyone have a working solution how we can get the text from inside
these tags using regex?

Much appreciated,

B
