using PHP to read XML

naughtymutt

I need to parse an xml document to get the information like the following at (the following being the most important part)

what I need to do is to parse the xml file and find the JOB_ID and then grab the number 60905057 from the body and change a filename and do some database stuff using the Access_code and adt_company_id. I can handle all that, just need to know how to parse the XML and grab the following information.

any help would be appreciated

In that case, have a look at the different sections in the fuction reference listing at the side of the page. There are entries there called [man]XML[/man], [man]DOMXML[/man] and more.

http://keithdevens.com/software/phpxml has a class which converts an XCML document to native PHP data types so you can just use array functions to get the information you want from the XML file.
