Your other post is no different to this one anyway.

As I said, you need to explain in more details what the problem is. Just comming here stating something doesn't work does not help us. A good part of asking for help is making it easy for us to want to help.

I have a php xml reader that works perfect with most XML feeds, but I'm trying to read a xml feed that doesn't use the standard format:


This is the normal format...
[code]<example>[/code]


The code below is what I want the XML feed reader to read, the URL address and the info...??

[code]<example url="http://www.example/index.html" info="Example">[/code]

Can anyone help revise the php code to accept this and read the info??
