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. Terry Hi Terry,

look at the PHP.NET documentation. There indicates the use of simpleXMLElement structures. If you want to extract elements from this object, please read there how this work. By the way, it would be interesting to see, how your XML is made. May be is usefull to use another class like DOM. regards carlos http://de2.php.net/manual/fr/book.simplexml.php http://de2.php.net/manual/fr/refs.xml.php
