There are obviously many other approaches, but you should now have an idea :-)

Thanks Sebastian for the help....
Actually what is happening in my case is:
page1.php is sending out to credit card company - getting processed - then coming back to the *same page1.php* with the XML data listed below...
- so I'm not going to some other page to get it - it is coming to me to the same page I am on..........
so - after the XML result comes in - I need to assign the php to the XML somehow...
I hope I am making myself clear....
Thanks in advance for the help
