The problem I'm having is that the XML data that comes back from the host doesn't just have <eventname> </eventname> tags. It has <f n="eventname">datahere</f> tags, and I don't know how to get the XML parser to read the values using that format. (And I don't have control over the host) As a first step, I just want to retrieve the "eventname", "venuename", and "venuecity" data from within the "result" tags at the bottom of the data. I'm really hoping this is possible with PHP - - - can someone please steer me in the right direction and tell my what I should change in the below script? The $tag value is not getting a value string, due to the XML-data.... Here's my present script: <?php $insideitem = false; $tag = ""; $eventname = ""; $venuename = ""; $venuecity = ""; function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {

    global $insideitem, $tag, $eventname, $venuename, $venuecity;
    if ($insideitem) {
        $tag = $name;
           } elseif ($name == "RESULT") {
        echo "found result";
        $insideitem = true;
    }

} ?>

You'll get these from the attributes array, which is an associative array: The third parameter, /attribs/, contains an associative array with the element's attributes (if any).The keys of this array are the attribute names, the values are the attribute values.Attribute names are case-folded <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php#xml.case-folding> on the same criteria as element names.Attribute values are /not/ case-folded.

   From:     http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-set-element-handler.php

So $venuecity - $attrs['venuecity'], etc.

I misread your original xml. It seems that your attribute names are "n"?

               n="eventname"

Then it's n which will be the key in the attributes array:

            $attrs['n'].

Perhaps it would help if you gave use the actual xml and not just this schematic. The file your refer us to can't be downloaded. -- _____________________ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/
