I just started learing XML and was wondering if there is any way to extract information about XML attributes using PHP.

for example, say i have Contact.xml and i want to only display those contacts where id="1".

[php]
// Contact.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<contact>

<type id="1">
<name></name>
<email></email>
</type>

<type id="2">
<name></name>
<email></email>
</type>

</contact>
[/php]

i then use a switch statement within the PHP script to convert the XML tags to HTML, but this parses the entire document.

is there a way within the PHP script to only parse a selection of the XML document that meets a certain criteria (i.e. id="1")???

thanks in advance...

nevermind... good ol' php manual

[php]
function startElement($parser, $name, $attribs) {

if (sizeof($attribs)) {
while (list($k, $v) = each($attribs)) {
echo "$k = $v";
}
}
}
[/php]
