XML Parsing in php...

[frosty]

Hey everyone, I have an issue and I know that I need to modify the code I am using but am not sure how to..

I am parsing a large xml string breaking it into named session arrays so I can use the data on a seperate page without having to store it in a temp db...The issue that I am running into is that for the most part I have a parent tag and one child tag per block. I have one block that has a Parent, Child and a Sibling
(my terms might be wrong there)

exp of Parent Child

Code: [Select]

<Corporate>
    <CorpBus>
    </CorpBus>
<Corporate

In my Parent, Child, Sibling setup

Code: [Select]


<Kiosks>
   <Kiosk>
    <KioskInfo>
    </KioskInfo>
    <Attachments>
        <Attachment>
        </Attachment>
    </Attachments>
  </Kiosk>
<Kiosks>


It is at the step of <Attachments><Attachment> where I am getting my issue.

In the parse I get something like this for the first

Code: [Select]

[‘xml’][‘Corporate’][‘0’][‘CorpBus’][‘0’]

Looping I get

[‘xml’][‘Corporate’][‘0’][‘CorpBus’][‘1’]
[‘xml’][‘Corporate’][‘0’][‘CorpBus’][‘2’]
[‘xml’][‘Corporate’][‘0’][‘CorpBus’][‘3’]


etc….and this is perfect as to how I need it….

For the other I get…

Code: [Select]


[‘xml’][‘Kiosks’][‘0’][‘Kiosk’][‘0’][‘KioskInfo’][‘0’]

And

[‘xml’][‘Kiosks’][‘0’][‘Kiosk’][‘0’][‘Attachments’][‘0’][‘Attachment’][‘0’]



The only spot that gets incremented is at

Code: [Select]


[‘xml’][‘Kiosks’][‘0’][‘Kiosk’][‘1’] etc…


I need to increment at [‘KioskInfo’][‘0’] and again at [‘Attachment’][‘0’]

Here is the parsing that I am using that gets me one level deep….and I just can no figure out the modification that I need to make….

Code: [Select]

    }//createArray

Any direction would be helpful…
