When all else fails, and #xml, ##php and #drupal-support come up empty...ask the folks who actually code :) I have an xml structure that has <this> <that parm1="a" parm2="b" parm3="c">red</that> <that parm1="e" parm2="f" parm3="d">blue</that> </this> I've tried simplexml and a few third-party scripts, one that loads the xml into an associative array rather than an object, and nothing lets me get at 'red' or 'blue'. When I use dsm() on the results, for example, in the case of the object with simplexml I get only one 'that' and do not get its contents. 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.
