Re: [development] trouble destructing xml

[Jamie Holly]

I use SimpleXML pretty much exclusively for this stuff: $data=''; $xml=simplexml_load_string($data); foreach ($xml->that as $item){   print_r($item);   echo "<hr>"; } Returns: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [parm1] => a [parm2] => b [parm3] => c ) [0] => red ) SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [parm1] => e [parm2] => f [parm3] => d ) [0] => blue ) Which is what it should. You can also use XPath to get at what you want: $xpath = $xml->xpath('/this/that'); Which would return an array of each <that> item along with the attributes.

When I use the script that creates the array, I get both that's, and all their parms as elements, but not the colors. I'm curious what else people are using. Jeff -- I am a non sequitur.
