Well that works. But its a little bizzare. I have to do that to get the content of a node even when that node has no children... e.g. <root> <stuff>

       <morestuff>SOME TEXT GOES HERE</morestuff>

</stuff> </root> So even if the current node is "morestuff" I still have to do the currentnode->children etc. blah. which is a bit dodgey

Ah but the content of the node IS a child of the node. Everything inside a node is it's child eg: <p>html line 1<br/>html line 2</p> The children of <p> are: 'html line 1' AND '<br/>' AND 'html line 2' Peter

Yeah that makes sense. There aint really any way around it. But there should be a way to say that a particluar node is the last in the chain. i dunno like if the entire contents is CDATA. so. <p><![CDATA[html line 1<br/>html line 2]]></p> This would not have a child as content, only content. Thats how I see it anyway. on the other hand : <p>html line 1<br/>html line 2</p> as you said above would have child as content, that makes sense. Supposedly all this is quite likely to change in the future anyway..... So i guess it doesnt matter. Well either way, as long as I can find documentation on how it works I'm happy. :)

How the hell do I get the content of a node.... before all I had to do was go $node->content now it doesnt seem to work. I know they changed $node->name to $node->tagname. I tried, content, tagcontent, value, mmm some other things. I give up, couldnt find any info anywhere either... theres a set_content() method but doenst seem to be a get_content() method :(.
