reading the xmltree

[Anon]

Hi!

I am trying to learn how to use the DOMXML extension. Unfortunately I don't really know where to start... I managed to display the xmltree but how can I read the tagnames, attributes etc. from this?

Could you please give an example so I can move on from there on my own?

Thank you,
Stefan

I keep getting errors...

<?

// data file
$file = "feeds/test1.xml";

// create a document object
$dom = xmldocfile($file);

// echo these values to see the object type
// get root node
$dom->root();

// get children under the root node as array
$dom->children();

?>

This is the error message: "Call to a member function on a non-object".

When I use $dom = xmldocfile($file) or die ("uh-oh");, the output is "uh-oh"... so there must be something wrong with the reading of the XML-file.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Stefan
