When the parser hits a new element tag, it will pass the parser object, element name, and its attributes to startElement(). $name will be the name of the element. Equity-quote, issue-name, etc. So when you go to look for $open_tags[$name], you won't find anything because the array is keyed to STORY, STOCK_NAME, etc. It looks like you're expecting the array to be backwards. Switching the keys/values and removing the <, /, > would be enough to make it work. HTH, Matt
