That just about concludes this little tour of parsing XML data with PHP. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, and there are numerous aspects of XML I haven't covered here. If you're interested in learning more about XML and XSL, you should visit the following links: You can read more about the DOM, and its different incarnations, at: The W3C's DOM specification, at http://www.w3.org/DOM/ The PHP manual pages, with user comments, are a great online resource, and you'll often find answers to common problems there. Even if you don't, they're well worth bookmarking: PHP's DOM XML functions, at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.domxml.php PHP's XML parsing functions, at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php A number of developers have built and released free PHP classes to handle XML data - if you're ever on a tight deadline, using these classes might save you some development time. And that's just about all for the moment. I hope you found this interesting, and that it helped to make the road ahead a little clearer.
