I'm just going to give the code and output. It should be self explanatory. The array, $criteria, is having the issue. I don't know what it's doing. I cannot seem to assign the value from the $data variable to the $criteria[index] value. You will see some attempts to debug the situation which leads me to more puzzlement. CODE: // run when cdata is found function characterDataHandler($parser, $data) { switch( $GLOBALS['currentTag'] )

    {
    case "MINSTARTDATE" : echo $data;/*$GLOBALS['criteria']['minstartdate']

$data is empty. How are you calling this function? -- ---John Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E/ php|architect: The Magazine for PHP Professionals – www.phparch.com
