Re: simplexml - can it do what I need?

Hi Shawn Thanks for answering my query. I have looked at the suggestions: $xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml', 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA); I am/was able to load the file OK and to access the data by iteration. However, I can't find a way to extract data by attributes. I need something like $string=<element idtype="11" lang="fr" label="Description - Etage">. Obviously, that won't work but that's the result I need. How do I get the data out of one of these elements by specifying its idtype and lang? I've google for hours on this and for another hour on SimpleXMLElement.
