So is generically processing child elements. Besides, if there is one technology worth learning when it comes to processing XML its Xpath. Its XML's SQL/regular expressions, draw what analogies to string processing that you will, but I don't see: $results = simplexml_query($element, '/child::node()'); foreach ($results as $result) { echo $result; } Signifigantly more complex then: $results = $element->getChildren(); foreach ($results as $result) { echo $result; }

I might be joking, but I wonder what it'd be like if we could do these tricks: foreach ($results['child::node()'] as $result) { echo $result; } foreach ($results['*'] as $result) { echo $result; } foreach ($results['@*'] as $result) { echo $result; } I don't think this will actually get implemented though :) Moriyoshi
