I'll be flamed for not responding with *exactly* what you want, but anyway...
I too had much difficulty understanding PHP XML code ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php ), esp the explanation in the big red "Professional PHP" book -- confusing! There are a number of cool functions people have written out there that will read in an XML file to an associative array. Then you can modify the array as you like-- edit/delete/add elements. When you're ready, there are other functions that will write that associate array back to a flat file in XML format. Pretty cool, eh? It's still frustrating, but not nearly as much as using the PHP XML functions. Here's a link: http://codewalkers.com/seecode/185.html cheers Ryan > I have a proposition for anyone that would be interested in accepting. > > I would like some PHP scripts written.
