Re: Recommended XML parser?

I wrote something that did things to huge XML files (2meg+) and it took a long time! (around 10 mins) I used this code to read and process the XML into a arrays function GetChildren($vals, &$i) { $children = array(); if ($vals[$i]['value']) array_push($children, $vals[$i]['value']); while (++$i < count($vals)) { switch ($vals[$i]['type']) { case 'cdata': array_push($children, $vals[$i]['value']); break; case 'complete': $children[$vals[$i]['tag']] = $vals[$i]['value']; break; case 'open': $children[] = GetChildren($vals,$i); break; case 'close': return $children; break; } } } function GetXMLTree($XML) { $p = xml_parser_create("UTF-8"); xml_parser_set_option($p, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1); xml_parse_into_struct($p, $XML, $vals, $index) OR DIE("Invalid XML file!"); xml_parser_free($p); $i = 0; return GetChildren($vals, $i); } Hope that helps :P "Blake Barnett" <blake.barnett@developonline.com> wrote in message news:1024359482.29230.29.camel@shiva.soulmachine.com... > What is the recommended XML parser for use with PHP 4.2.1?
