A cursory glance at the ref.simplexml.php page led me to http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-attributes.php, isn't this what you want? > RN> http://php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php has quite a few examples in > RN> the user-contributed notes.

Uh, http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse.php says xml_parse() takes a string. *shrug* Anyway, I'm still not convinced simplexml isn't enough for you. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
