tibberous Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Why doesn't PHP have a good way to parse XML? I keep hoping that they'll get it to support something like E4X =/ Is there a fundamental reason why PHP can't have it? AS3 does. You can do stuff like... $book->author[0]->name.

Daniel0 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Is there a fundamental reason why PHP can't have [E4X]? AS3 does. Yes, it's because PHP is not an ECMAScript language so naturally it does not support ECMAScript for XML... What exactly do you want?
