[thelist] PHP & XML

[Nicole P]

The example I have uses global variables.
In StartElement, you study what element you have and set global flags.
In CharacterHandler, you handle according to your global flags, and in
EndElement, you reset your flags.
 For example, StartElement would have:
 if ($name == "CHANNEL" )
 {
  $in_channel_tag = 1;
 }


Not totally elegant, but that's the way I've been handling it for now
