If you want to get child nodes of some node, try something like this: <?php // check $doc = new DomDocument(); // load XML file $doc->loadXML($items); // Now loop through and get root // get those we need (all of them actually) $Elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName("item"); // loop through foreach($Elements as $elem) { // check if the element is a root one if($elem->parentNode->getAttribute("link")) {} else { // if it IS then check if it has child nodes if($elem->hasChildNodes()) { // if it has them just got only child nodes $Children = $elem->getElementsByTagName("item"); // do whatever you want with your children } } } ?> --was-- nobody at dontlikespam dot com- Take it easy.
