As you may have read, I've run into a problem with coding my PHP/XML application. Apparently I'd have to use ASP to get what I want done... something I'm not particularly interested in doing. So, I am trying to convince myself to get up off of my butt and write an XML DOM API (LOL) using PHP. My question is, how (or where can I find information) might I write code in PHP that will allow the programmer to use the same sort of functionality found in DHTML's DOM? In other words, how do I write PHP functions that would allow the programmer to write something like (though not necessarily exactly): document.getElementsByTagName('parent').childNodes(1).id.val ue ??? Perhaps you can direct me to a forum that specializes in more advancd programming structures such as this... to be perfectly honest, I'm getting rather fed up of running into dead ends,bad code and no answers. Sorry for the rant.
