Re: parsing xml the right way

Hi there, I think I am parsing xml documents the wrong way. There must be a better way to access the results laterone like objects. For example I would like to search in a free form for a city name inside an xml document and php should return the country name and continent. This is the xml structure: <Country size="4">

    <countryName>Andorra</countryName>
    <countryCode>AD</countryCode>
    <countryContinent>Europe</countryContinent>
    <Cities size="4">
        <city>Encamp</city>
        <city>Escaldes-Engordany</city>
        <city>Ordino</city>
        <city>Soldeu</city>
    </Cities>

</Country> Has anybody a good hint for me? Thanx in advance, Merlin

I created this class a short while ago that parses all of your XML into an easily usable Associative array structure. It extends PEAR::XML_Parse, so you need that as well. http://reversefold.com/~papercrane/XML_Parser_Assoc/Assoc.phps http://pear.php.net/package/XML_Parser -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
