Re: XML parsing without the PHP4 XML functions

If your satisfied with IE5.0 customers you could do all that without php, use an XSL file. Now if you want PHP to parse the XML file, I can see why, your going to have to get XML installed. Have you considered other providors? there are lots. Im one of them. Ive been told there are ways of adding modules dynamically on runtime http://php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php Ive never needed it / used it. sorry :( -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com em. lee@mediawaveonline.com ph. 250.377.1095 ph. 250.376.2690 fx. 250.554.1120 ""Stefen Lars"" <stefenlars@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:LAW2-F1611SWoBDyseV000092ed@hotmail.com... > Hello all > > I have recently been assigned the task of parsing an xml file and format the > contents of the file in HTML.
