passing value into xml parser

[batearedfox]

Hi, I'm using the xml parser here http://www.criticaldevelopment.net/xml/doc.php (as I only have access to php4 for this) and I'm trying to feed a variable into a function in which I wish to define the project field (see below)

 

echo $parser->document->project1[0]->name[0]->tagData ;

 

I've tried

 

$project = 'project1';

echo $parser->document->$project[0]->name[0]->tagData ;

 

but that dies. Really sorry if this is an obvious syntax error, new to php and I've spent an hour on google to no avail.

 

Thanks for reading

 

Tom
