XML and PHP

[Anon]

I have a PHP script which takes info off a XML file.

When I ask for it to retrieve data between tags like <title> and </title>
it works fine and gets what is between the two tags.

However, when "<![CDATA[ " and "]]>" is between the <title> and </title>, then I can't get text from between the tags.

How can I do this?

thanx

Are you parsing the xml by hand or with expat or some other xml processor?

I am getting the xml file from a newsfeed which they send to my ftp as filename.xml

I am using PHP to extract the data.

Here is a small section of the xml file :
- <title>
- <![CDATA[ DJ US West Daily Pwr Mkt Down; Loads Still Low, Unit Returns   ]]>
  </title>
  <StoryDate>2001-07-11</StoryDate>

And here is a small section of my PHP file :
{ ereg("<title>(.*)</title>",$filechunks[$i], $title);
echo "<tr><td>";
echo $title[1];
echo "</td><td>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}

With this, I getting nothing on the screen.
However, if I replace <title>(.)</title>
with <StoryDate>(.)</StoryDate>

then I get the 2001-07-11, which is correct.

Its just that I can't get whats between the title tags.

thanx

You're parsing the XML incorrectly. Read the article on this site about how to build an xml parser using expat and your problem will go the way of the dodo.
