Problem with XML_parser

I see what you mean perhaps I should have posted the full code to begin with instead of the first ten lines. Thanks though, heres the full code: ---------- <?php require_once 'XML/Parser.php'; class myParser extends XML_Parser {   function myParser()   {     parent::XML_Parser();   } /**   * handle start element   *   * @access private   * @param  resource  xml parser resource   * @param  string    name of the element   * @param  array     attributes   */   function startHandler($xp, $name, $attribs)   {     printf('handle start tag: %s<br />', $name);   } /**   * handle start element   *   * @access private   * @param  resource  xml parser resource   * @param  string    name of the element   */   function endHandler($xp, $name)   {     printf('handle end tag: %s<br />', $name);   } } $p = &new myParser(); $result = $p->setInputFile('tester.xml'); $result = $p->parse(); ?> ----------- On 8/7/04 6:24 pm, "Don Fitzsimmons" <dfitzsimmons@cox.net> wrote: > Aren't you missing the closing bracket for the class? > > Don > On Jul 8, 2004, at 10:23 AM, Alex MacLeod wrote: > >> Hi everyone, >> This is my first time posting so excuse me if I miss any list >> etiquette. >> >> I've just installed pear onto my Mac (OS 10.3.4) and really need to >> use the >> XML_parser package for a project I'm currently involved in. >> >> I have been reading the documentation and on the second page sadly >> entitled >> "Basic Example" I copy the example and save it locally then try to >> test the >> script.
