Re: Is there a way to use the strpos() for next string...

I'll try. I haven't got the PHP XML Parser to work, I think it is because the XML stuffs I receive is not a true XML, some of them don't have a closing tag either because one tag have actual data as an attribute inside one tag. It is kind of frustrating to on not knowing what XML Parser will work.
