Searching a Static XML Table

[Walshy]

Hi, I'm really new to PHP and know nothing about it. I have coded a web page which contains an XML table, I am trying to search that table and to display the results in a separate page, which I have already created. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Walshy

not to be a butthead about this...your question is a little vague. great...you have an XML document you wish to search. Off the top of my head, I can thing of at least a dozen or two possibilities, depending on what you want to search for, what constraints you have, etc. how bout a few more details?

I am trying to search for any exact word within the table, and either highlite the word as found or display the whole row in the results page. The XML code for the table is as follows :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
