Hi Roman, RN> What makes you think simplexml is not for you? I don't say it is, but RN> you need to tell us exactly what you need. RN> >From what I can see, unless I am mistaken, SimpleXML can not deal with attributes within a tag. It only seems to deal with data contained between a start tag and an end tag. I have a lot of data contained within the start tags that I must extract. RN> http://php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php has quite a few examples in RN> the user-contributed notes. Have you seen the manual? RN> Yes of course I have seen the manual. RN> Many of the examples at http://php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php use a RN> string variable as the source. Yes I know they do but the examples for xml_parse() do not use a string.
