I'v even submitted a bunch of patches to them to fix bugs. :-) They're very flexible, can do just about anything, and are very simple to use. As for parsing XML, I've created a simple extention of XML_Parser that parses the XML into a (useful!) associative array. It's large if you print_r it, but it gives you *all* of the data and lets you choose exactly what you want. http://www.reversefold.com/PEAR/Assoc.phps -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
