Re: XML DOM

I have an XML document as a string $strXml, that looks a little like this: <recordset>

    <row>

        <password>Rover</username>
    </row>
    <row>
        <userid>2</userid>
        <username>Fred</username>
        <password>Fido</username>
    </row>

</recordset> What's the best way to grab a single value from this document? In the past (in VB), I have loaded the XML into a DOM Document, and used an XPath query to select the data I want, and then bung the output into a string. Any suggestions?

You can do the same bunging in PHP if your php setup has domxml enabled. Or you can use the (faster, but batch-like) SAX parser. More information : http://www.php.net/xml -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com http://www.meidomus.com
