PHP and xml help!

[CS-Jay]

I'm a bit stuck and hope someone can lend a hand. I cannot get the value of, Choice, using simplexml.

Here's the xml:

<Choice ID="1000">
<Select NAME="BOB/>
Monday
</Choice>
<Choice ID="1001">
<Select NAME="Mary/>
Tuesday
</Choice> 

I am looping through, trying to get the value of Choice, but I get the array of Select. I would like just get the days.

$arr = array();
foreach ($Choice AS $choice){
$arr[] = $choice;
}
print_r($arr); 

Any ideas?

You're going to want an XML parser to parse the XML into an array.

I guess I should stop resisting using anything else than simplexml.

Use DOM? Don't think you can get the textNode children using simplexml.

$xml =
'<derp>
    <Choice ID="1000">
        <Select NAME="BOB" />
        Monday
    </Choice>
    <Choice ID="1001">
        <Select NAME="Mary" />
        Tuesday
    </Choice>
</derp>';
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$dom->loadXML($xml);
foreach($dom->getElementsByTagName('Choice') as $choice)
{
    $arr[] = $choice->textContent;
}
print_r($arr);

Off to give DOM a try
