Hi Some maybe already recognized it, for the others: There's DTD-Validation in domxml available now. Just for the record, some examples how to use it. $xmldoc = xmldocfile("xhtml1.xhtml",DOMXML_LOAD_PARSING,$error); will parse the file as before, but gives you more meaningfull errormessages in the array $error. For example: $error = Array ( [0] => Array ( [errormessage] => Entity 'copy' not defined [nodename] => p [line] => 102 [col] => 60 [directory] => /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test [file] => xhtml1.xhtml ) $xmldoc = xmldocfile("xhtml1.xhtml",DOMXML_LOAD_VALIDATING,$error); will validate against the DTD in the xml Document. THe error-messages are in $error as well -> $error = Array ( [0] => Array ( [nodename] => head [line] => 8 [col] => 31 [directory] => /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test [file] => xhtml1.xhtml [errormessage] => No declaration for attribute blbla on element link ) The same principle works with domxml_open_mem() as well. Furthermore, there's a $xmldoc->validate([$error]) method. It returns true or false on validating and some errormessages in the array $error. The problem here is, that i was not able to get more meaningful messages than $error = Array ( [0] => Array ( [errormessage] => No declaration for attribute blbla on element link ) therefore it's maybe better to do the validating on parsing, 'cause then you can get line and cole number for locating the error. that's it for the moment. chregu
