Parsing XML cdata

[rcrane]

I'm trying to parse the contents of xml tag <g:location> into 4 different elements of an array.

Example XML Tag:

<g:location><![CDATA[Fort Meade]]>, <![CDATA[MD]]> <![CDATA[20755-6779]]> <![CDATA[United States]]></g:location>

Array Example:

      $my_location= array(

          'city'           => array('<g:location><![CDATA[', ']]></g:location>'),

          'state'          => array('<g:location><![CDATA[', ']]></g:location>'),

          'zipcode'        => array('<g:location><![CDATA[', ']]></g:location>'),

          'country'        => array('<g:location><![CDATA[', ']]></g:location>'),

  ); 

What is the proper way to put the <g:location> tag into those 4 different elements?

Well, that's a fairly wacky approach to using CDATA tags. If you want to parse it as XML, wouldn't it make sense to use XML instead of lumping it all into a bunch of anonymous text nodes and then messing around trying to get them back out?

<g:location><city><!<[CDATA[Fort Meade]]></city>....

Anyway, if you just iterate over the child nodes of the <location> element in your example, you'll find seven children; four CDATA Section nodes alternating with three Text nodes.
