xml value not reading

[pagegen]

<category id="SOCMENEURASTVICLEA" order="26800">Aus. Victoria League</category>

 

I have the above xml, I can read the category id, order but I dont no how to read the value "Aus. Victoria League"

 

foreach($description->children() as $category) {
		foreach($category->attributes() as $a => $b) {
			echo "<br/> -------- ";
			echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
		} 
		echo "category name" . $category->asXML();
	}

 

the asXML() i have no idea what that is but am guessing I need thats where the php function which returns the value needs to go

Thank you

asXML() simply returns the element in it's XML form.

 

Try:

 

echo "category name" . $category->category;

Apart from MrAdam's suggestion, you should take care of time out in case the XML file is remote (not in your home directory).

Check http://www.expertsguide.info/2010/08/set-time-out-while-downloading-files/ for various methods on implementing timeout.

A very similar query post, I responded to, is here http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10374858

Not really sure how that relates to the problem at hand? Would have to be a very large XML file for the server to struggle with timeout issues.
