ziltech Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hello All, Probably a very easy question from a PHP novice. I am trying to find out how to write a php script that can assign an element from an XML file to a PHP variable. The XML source is http://www.avallen.co.uk/scr/auth/v3main/txtvrm/reg.php?strVRM=wlo6kcu Note that the XML is dynamically generated from the reg.php file, it isn't a direct source to a static XML file. I want to just be able to assign the 'ErrorDescription' element of the XML file to lets say an $errordescription variable so that I can easily echo it anywhere on the php page. Probably very simply but scratching my head. Thanks very much, Rob Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84359-solved-view-this-xml-data/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
