I think it is very odd that no-one else is advocating XSL in this case. Extracting information from an XML file is just another way of converting it, which is exactly what XSL is good at. I can't imagine how using a pile of custom PHP code is going to be more efficient than writing a simple XSL stylesheet according to recognised standards etc. Just my opinion of course. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
