I've found this is nice but a bit annoying since I have to write everything from scratch. After about a week or two trying to get my parser just right I gave up and used MSXML 4.0 which is a Microsoft COM Object and contains everything you need to created XML Documents, parse them, validate them agaisnt DTD and XSD Schemas, etc... I use php's COM Support http://php.net/com to do this and created a wrapper object around the COM object with php for easy implementation.. Hope that helps. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Hardik Doshi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] XML PHP question Hi everyone, Can you please tell me what is the best way of working with XML technology using PHP?
