I have to say this is the most helpful listserve I've ever joined! Such friendly people and such good information.
Well, the main thing I learned is - - - PHP 5 rocks, and PHP 4 semi-rocks, but not enough to make XML-parsing enjoyable.
So, what I did was I installed MAMP on my Mac OS X box, and got the latest PHP 5 running, and then used the Simple XML routines.
Ahhhh - - - _much_ better. PHP XML-parsing with SimpleXML is definitely the way to go. It does in 10 lines of code what PHP4 took 50 lines of code to do.
Next I just have to switch ISP's so that I can use PHP5 in the outside world.
