If you absolutely have to support PHP 4, be prepared for a rather long and tedious testing period where various funky things in different XML incarnations will break whichever XML package reader you choose. At least, that was my experience in all PHP XML solutions before PHP 5. There are 3 to choose from in PHP 4, I think, plus at least one popular one that's not built-in, but is just more PHP code. As Larry points out, dealing with XML is a VERY good reason to go with PHP 5 and abandon PHP 4. While nobody can guarantee the next 6 months or year outlook of PHP 4, I would expect a lot of webhosts are going to phase it out now that an official EOL has been announced. http://www.php.net/index.php#2007-07-13-1 -- Some people have a gift link here.

Try to do a search in PEAR.PHP.NET I remember I've seen something like this for php4, but not sure where.

There might be a user-space generic XML parser available somewhere, but nothing that will map directly to SimpleXML. SimpleXML uses language features that don't exist in PHP 4. The best answer is to use PHP 5 and let PHP 4 die a respectable death, as most of the world seems to have decided to do[1].

[PHP] simplexml_load_string always FALSE
I have a call $oXML = simplexml_load_string($xmlString); I then check it, with if(!$oXML) throw new XMLException(); For some reason, it's always evaluating to FALSE. Even though there are no errors and the rest of the xml parsing works fine. If I change it to if($oXML === FALSE) throw new XMLException(); then it works fine. Is it evaluating a valid xml object as 0? I wonder if anyone can enlighten me.

Is it evaluating a valid xml object as 0? Probably. The type-casting rules for PHP Objects to integer (and later boolean, when those were introduced) have changed in minor ways with every major release. The exact details of the OO-int conversion always seemed muddy to me, personally. I wonder if anyone can enlighten me. I think your code is way more better with the strict test you already discovered as a work-around. You are explicitly checking for FALSE, which is an unusual value for an Object to take on. You may also want to look at xmlerror or whatever it is, which is where there is PROBABLY and error message just waiting for you to ask. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
