I'm missing a function like $reader->rewind() to set the internal cursor of the reader to its starting position. further i didn't found such rewind() at http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlreader.html , the home of libxml's xmlreader... i think the only way getting out is to $reader->close() and $reader->XML(...) again?? Can somebody help me with that?

It's a forward reading XML Parser, therefore there's no rewind (like in SAX..). And yes, libxml2 doesn't seem to provide such a function, either. I don't know, if it's too complicated to add it or just against the principle. But as long as libxml2 doesn't provide it, we won't implement it. Closing/opening shouldn't be an expensive task with XMLReader, anyway. chregu -- christian stocker | Bitflux GmbH | schoeneggstrasse 5 | ch-8004 zurich phone +41 1 240 56 70 | mobile +41 76 561 88 60 | fax +41 1 240 56 71 http://www.bitflux.ch | chregu@bitflux.ch | gnupg-keyid 0x5CE1DECB
