Building on... This allows you to return the value of an element using an XPath reference. This code would of course need error handling added :-) function GetElementByName ($xml, $start, $end) { $startpos = strpos($xml, $start); if ($startpos === false) { return false; } $endpos = strpos($xml, $end); $endpos = $endpos+strlen($end); $endpos = $endpos-$startpos; $endpos = $endpos - strlen($end); $tag = substr ($xml, $startpos, $endpos); $tag = substr ($tag, strlen($start)); return $tag; } function XPathValue($XPath,$XML) { $XPathArray = explode("/",$XPath); $node = $XML; while (list($key,$value) = each($XPathArray)) { $node = GetElementByName($node, "<$value>", "</$value>"); } return $node; } print XPathValue("Response/Shipment/TotalCharges/Value",$xml); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26542 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26542 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26542
