Hi,
Anyone who can tell me how to parse an xml tag that contains both text and childs. e.g.
...<sql>select * from table;<conv>default.php</conv><sql>...
The only way I could extract the text (select...) was with the following snippet
foreach($xml->children() as $k => $v ) {
$elem = count($v);
$xmla = (array) $xml[0];
if (is_string($xmla["$k"]) and $elem) {
// $xmla["$k"] is 'select * from table'
}
...}
which is not very pretty.
Convert the child xml object to an array and check if the child is a string and not an end node.
It's un ugly hack, but it does the job.
