I must be missing something but I've been looking at PHP XML tutorials and manuals for hours and I just don't see how they get the data from between the tags. Every tutorial shows how to capture the tag name and the attribute values but none are showing how to capture the data between tags, e.g., <customer>John Doe</customer>; how do I get to "John Doe"?

Cool! Seems very straight forward. I was thinking of creating a list of websites that I link to, I may want to select about 10 of them and then send the urls to my php page to ask Google about the page rank for each one. So you are saying that if I make 10 requests (for 10 selected urls), php won't know the difference and the AJAX will update the web page as the results come back in from the php one at a time. BTW, I am aware of the daily limit that Google puts on their API requests. Thanks for the help!

I wanted to use AJAX on the client side and PHP for the server side technology and I wanted to be able to have a user select many check boxes and send the values to the PHP code and the PHP code would then contact a web service to obtain some information and return the data to the AJAX client. Question: Since AJAX is asynchronous how will PHP handle multiple requests fired at it? I know I could batch them up and send one batch of values, but I was wonder how PHP will handle multiple request to that same server-side php page. Would I need to use session on the server side to handle these?
