Parsing XML to an Array

[mTorbin]

I'm looking for a pretty simple, straightforward way to parse XML into an array. Any suggestions? SimpleXML seemed too, well, simple.

Well, I probably would have suggested SimpleXML, but...

Without knowing what you really want to accomplish functionally and what it is about SimpleXML that you don't like, all I can suggest is the [man]DOM[/man] functions.

Thanks for the response. Actually I found the answer and it does use SimpleXML. The confusion I had stemmed from my lack of understanding the object. Here's what I have:

$xmlData = simplexml_load_file($fileName);
$errorMsg = $xmlData->{'AdBaseResponse'}->{'non-pub-notes'};

That piece of it generates the data I want into a a variable without the need for an array.

Thanks again for your help.
