Problem parsing XML

[bailo81]

I have an xml file with notes in the following format:

<notedate>16-12-2005</notedate>
<username>Test Name</username>
<notetype>OUTSTANDING MATTERS</notetype>
<notesummary></notesummary>
<notebody>TEST<BR/><BR/>TEST TEST TEST</notebody>
</note>

I am using the following functions:

function get_content($parent)
{
	$nodes = $parent->children();
	while($node = array_shift($nodes))
	{
		if ($node->type == XML_TEXT_NODE)
			return $node->content;
		return "";
	}
}

# get the content of a particular node
function find_content($parent,$name)
{
	$nodes = $parent->children();
	while($node = array_shift($nodes))
	{
		if ($node->tagname == $name)
			return get_content($node);
	}
	return "";
}

in the following way:

echo "<h2>Notes</h2>";
$notes = $case->get_elements_by_tagname("note");


while($note = array_shift($notes))
{
	echo "<p>";
	br_field("Date note made",			find_content($note, "notedate"));
	br_field("Note made by",			find_content($note, "username"));
	br_field("Note type",				find_content($note, "notetype"));
	br_field("Details",					find_content($note, "notebody"));
	echo "</p>";
}

All is reading from the xml fine unless there are <BR/> tags in the xml file in the <notebody> tag (which there often are). It doesnt seem to want to echo anything after these tags in the above example it would echo one TEST and then stop.

Any suggestions?? :bemused:

Well, <BR /> counts as an XML tag (if it shouldn't, it should either be written with entities, or the content of the <notebody> should be escaped with <[CDATA[stuff]]> tags. So there is more than just an XML_TEXT_NODE in that <notebody> element. Instead you've got a whole sequence of nodes, which you'd need to read and concatenate.
