    die ( $root->getMessage() );

} $arr = $root->toArray(); echo '<pre>'; var_dump($arr); echo '</pre>'; ?> output: XML_Parser: no element found at XML input line 4:5 BTW, i also want to know if it's possible to parse boolean content Here is my other xml test file *********************************************************** 1. *<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 2. *<!--
