Hi Jochem,

Thanks for your reply

That makes sense when I think about it.


JM> do as Roman says and post the simpleXML code you have so far.

I have done very little with Simple XML as I can't even get anything back out of
it. I have found the examples very confusing and I am obviously missing the
point of SimpleXML as it is obvious others are getting it to work.

      $file = "test.xml";
      
        $data = simplexml_load_file($file);
        var_dump($data);

        Produces the following

object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (5) {
  ["@attributes"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["cntTarifs"]=>
    string(3) "122"

      [1]=>
      string(2) "PR"
    }
  }
}


So I can clearly see the data I want is there. However I have tried the
following

         foreach ($data->fares as $fares)
         {
                print "{$fares->fares} \n";
         }

And that just produces a blank line. It is obvious to me that I am not on the
right track.
