I'm using simplexml to fetch data from a set of data files. If I have two files, and one is an update to the other, is there an easy way to merge the two files together, rather than having write logic that checks one and then the other? Both files conform to the same DTD and thus the data in the update will perfectly eclipse the data in the main file. If I can do this it would save me writing a whole bunch of logic. Thanks, - Naz

diff!

Could I trouble you to elaborate? Or at least point to the RTFM url. - Naz.

once you have the data from simplexml, use http://us3.php.net/array_diff to get the differences between the two data sets. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V by William Shakespeare
