RE: [PHP] Need help with RegEx

If you didn't say "using regex" this is how I'd do it (untested, forgive typos and such..ripped from some code I actively use and stripped down): <?PHP $_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_element_handler($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, 'xml_response_open_element_function', 'xml_response_close_element_function'); xml_set_character_data_handler($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, 'xml_response_handle_character_data'); xml_parse($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER, $_XML_RESPONSE, strlen($_XML_RESPONSE)); xml_parser_free($_XML_RESPONSE_PARSER); ~ $FoundStatusTag = false; ~ function xml_response_open_element_function($p, $element, $attributes) { global $FoundStatusTag; ~~ if (strtoupper($element) == "STATUS") $FoundStatusTag = true; } ~ function xml_response_close_element_function($p, $element){ global $FoundStatusTag; ~ // do nothing special for now } ~ function xml_response_handle_character_data($p, $cdata){ global $FoundStatusTag; ~ if ($FoundStatusTag) { echo $cdata; $FoundStatusTag = false; } } ?> = = = Original message = = = The example provided didn't work for me. It gave me the same string without anything modified. I am also looking for this solution to strip out text from some XML response I get from posting data to a remote server. I can do it using substring functions but I'd like something more compact and portable. (A one-liner that I could modify for other uses as well) Example 1: <someXMLtags> ~<status>16664 Rejected: Invalid LTV</status> </someXMLtags> Example 2: <someXMLtags> ~<status>Unable to Post, Invalid Information</status> </someXMLtags> I want what is inside the <status> tags. Does anyone have a working solution how we can get the text from inside these tags using regex?
