Me being silly and reading it wrong. SOLVED.

Hi, Im trying to use the eBay API to get all my purchases. I have managed to do that, but trying to use the data it returns is proving tricky. Here is my code which parses the output: function syncebay() { $xml = simplexml_load_string(constructPostCallAndGetResponse()); $amount = count($xml->OrderArray->Order); //echo $amount; $i = 0; while($i < $amount) { $return[$i][0] = (string) $xml->OrderArray->Order[$i]->TransactionArray->Transaction->Item->Title; $i++; } print_r($return); } But that outputs Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => HP ZE4700 Laptop Spares Or Repair ) [1] => Array ( [0] => BlackBerry Curve 8520 - Black (Unlocked) Smartphone broken spares or reparis ) [2] => Array ( [0] => Blackberry Bold(needs new screen). ) [3] => Array ( [0] => MICRO USB DATA CABLE CHARGER LEAD BLACKBERRY HTC SAMSUNG NOKIA SONY ERRICSSON ) [4] => Array ( [0] => DC JACK HP ZE4000 ZE4100 ZE4200 ZE4300 ZE4500 ZE4700 NE ) [5] => Array ( [0] => 10 x Long Shallow Postal Packing Mailing Storage Cardboard Boxes 18x12x4" SW ) [6] => Array ( [0] => QUALITY SINGLE WALL POSTAL MAILING CARDBOARD BOXES[6" x 6" x 6" (152x152x152mm),25] ) [7] => Array ( [0] => Genuine HP Compaq nc6320 nc6120 nc6110 nx6110 nx6120 nx6310 Inverter ) [8] => Array ( [0] => blackberry 8520 ) [9] => Array ( [0] => 180° Tilt Swivel LCD TV Wall Mount bracket for 14”- 24” ) [10] => Array ( [0] => BUBBLE WRAP - 300mm 500mm 600mm 750mm - 10m 20m 30m 50m 100m ROLLS[100m x 500mm] ) [11] => Array ( [0] => 10 x Long Shallow Postal Packing Mailing Storage Cardboard Boxes 18x12x4" SW ) [12] => Array ( [0] => Gateway W323-UI1 LCD Screen Inverter 3A:1603284771 ) [13] => Array ( [0] => MICROSIM MICRO Mini SIM CARD ADAPTER CONVERTER ADAPTOR to standard normal / x 2 ) ) Instead of just the title. I cant work out why it does that, or how. Here is the transaction section of the XML for one of the objects: <Transaction> <Buyer> <Email>XXXXXXXX</Email> </Buyer> <ShippingDetails> <SellingManagerSalesRecordNumber>556</SellingManagerSalesRecordNumber> </ShippingDetails> <CreatedDate>2013-02-07T17:16:33.000Z</CreatedDate> <Item> <ItemID>111008202399</ItemID> <Site>UK</Site> <Title>HP ZE4700 Laptop Spares Or Repair</Title> <ConditionID>7000</ConditionID> <ConditionDisplayName>For parts or not working</ConditionDisplayName> </Item> <QuantityPurchased>1</QuantityPurchased> <Status> <PaymentHoldStatus>None</PaymentHoldStatus> </Status> <TransactionID>0</TransactionID> <TransactionPrice currencyID="GBP">7.0</TransactionPrice> <TransactionSiteID>US</TransactionSiteID> <Platform>eBay</Platform> <Variation /> <OrderLineItemID>111008202399-0</OrderLineItemID> </Transaction> </TransactionArray> Any help? Thaks.

That worked. Thanks!

Hi, Im making a script which will parse a XML feed. The problem is i cant work out a way to count the attributes (I believe they are called attributes), for example: <STOCK Color="Black" Size="Small">In Stock</STOCK> Has 2 Attributes <STOCK Color="Black" Size="Small" Animal="Dog">In Stock</STOCK> Has 3 Attributes But i cant find any way to count them. I am using SimpleXML Any help? Thanks.
