Note Submitter: adam dot prall at thinkingman dot com ---- The problem with anything based on SimpleXML is this: SimpleXML assumes, like actually quite a few XML parsers (e.g. many of those I've written, as well as some also written pre-1996 which are still (YES!) in use) that the *ordering* of elements is actually not that important. Otherwise, and I'm making an assumption here, the PHP coding team (which I don't dare even touch anything as tough as "C") would have coded interspersed text and XML tags correctly as unlabeled tags with no attributes other than "charset='utf8'" and one value, the text. OK, a lot of assumptions. But anyway, I've been using an extension like this in my sites for awhile. And when I finally getting around to sharing it, I want to talk to some people who are willing to swap some (valuable) code. Mahalos, Adam Prall Thinkingman.com Hawaii ---- Reason: useless note
