No! No! Changed my mind... use SimpleXML instead! http://www.php.net/simplexml <? $config = simplexml_load_file("config.xml"); echo $config->rdbms->source['type']; ?> Outputs "mssql" !

Yeah, if you're using PHP5, SimpleXML is a great way to do this. -ryan

I'd use http://www.php.net/domxml in PHP4 or http://www.php.net/dom in PHP5. They're excellent for files where the file size is limited so you won't mind reading the entire file into a data structure in memory. On Apr 9, 2005 3:31 AM, Ammar Ibrahim <ammar@gnuix.com> wrote:

I'm writing a MSSQL to MySQL Migration Utility, I'm using *Config* to manage the configuration, I want it to read from an XML file. The sturcutre is provided below. Now I want to be able to loop over 'databases' & 'tables'. What's the best way to do this, I'd rather stay away from arrays, is there a DOM access like way to get the objects. And is there a better way to structure my XML? <config>

    <rdbms>
        <source type="mssql">
            <host></host>
            <user></user>
            <pass></pass>
        </source>
        <destination type="mssql">
            ....
        </destination>

    </rdbms>

    <databases>
        <database newname="legs_jo">JOLEGSZEFT</database>
    </databases>

    <tables>
        <table newname="foo">
            <name>bar</name>
            <columns>
                <col newname="new_col_name"

callback="intToDate>start_date</col>

            </columns>
        </table>
    </tables>
