SimpleXML node detection.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Morning all, Hopefully a quick question i need to check if a node exists for a SimpleXML object but no matter how i try i simple cant find a way to do this as it always creates a new object even if the node dosen't exist in the xml document. My peoblem is that i have something like the following xml...

~            <section>
~                <name>foo</name>
~                <content>foo</content>
~                <ignore />
~            </section>
~            <section>
~                <name>blah</name>
~                <content>blah</content>
~            </section>

Where there is an ignore tag to specify that i ignore that item Any ideas on how i can check to see it the ignore node exists or not? - -- Regards, William Bailey.
