Ok, thanks. > PS: i've been thinking of a DOM like thing myself - and i was considering > using libwww instead of pure expat (to be able to parse HTML and XML) - > what do you think? I decided to take libxml (http://rufus.w3.org/veillard/) which is also used in gnome. It already has a DOM Interface in C which might be helpful. What I'm not sure about is how to make the php interface: 1. parse the xml file and build up a tree of php objects representing the xml file. This would be basically what libxml does in C. In such a case libxml actually does more than needed because it builds the tree, too. Wonder how efficient that would be with zend. 2. take the tree from libxml and just add php function to walk through it. This is simple but further away from a DOM interface.
