Hello all
I have recently been assigned the task of parsing an xml file and format the contents of the file in HTML. The xml file lies on another server. Our web space provider does not provide the XML functions (nor is he willing to install them) :-gr.
I am sure that I am not the only who has come across this problem.
Would someone have already created a few functions to parse xml that they are willing to share?
I have the following structure to deal with:
<faq>
<item>
<product>ProductName</product>
<question>Why does it not work</question>
<answer>Because it is not turned on<answer>
<item>
</faq>
There are whole load of <item>s in the file.
I then want to display the contents a bit like this:
echo $product;
echo $question;
etc (of course with some HTML formatting, like a bulleted list).
Any help would be really VERY appreciated!
Thanks
S
