Hi Reinhard, Back in 2006, at work and on my paid time, I implemented a full featured EDI php library, it currently supports UN/EDIFACT only, but the goal was also to support X12 and EANCOM standards. *All* UN/EDIFACT messages and revisions are supported, from 1994 (D94B) to 2007 (D07A). What I did was implementing a generic parser that parsed edifact message structure stored in xml files generated by a php script (it is not included in the source, I think I've lost it :(). It's a huge project, pear packing is not terminated, there's still many things to do (for example, the name should be File_EDI and not EDI as Christian noted). If you're interested on what needs to be done, I'll try to write a todo list, but as far as I remember, the goal was to provide a core package (the Parser and Element classes), and subpackages for each revision of the standard xml data files (I think this part needs a custom role for PEAR packaging). I've never had time to finish it and I do not plan to work on it again either, to be honest it was not a very fun experience to write a parser for this prehistoric and cryptic format :/ It's ok to open-source it, so you may want to have a look at the sources...: http://code.google.com/p/izi-sandbox/source/browse/#svn/trunk/php/php_edi/ Regards, -- David -- http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=648
