btw - my first 'if' statement is not necessary, was trying to loop with it, but not anymore. my xml file would ALWAYS have an element, so the first 'if' statement will ALWAYS be true, meaning $article[$name] is valid at ALL times. thanks again. |

Na wa o, see plenty codes mehn! |

@dhtml: yes o correction: the first loop is necessary as the $xml->nodeType will forever be assigned XMLReader::ELEMENT, and therefore, the other 'if' statements wont be touched. Thanks anyway, solved my challenge. |

Seriously, do you know that php can analyze html structure just like DOM. for instance: <html>Something like that, php can take it and get the src of all images, attribute of any element. . . . . Glad you have solved your problem, i did not take time to read this thread properly when i first came |
