Well, if you want to do it in PHP, you could look at this: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_xml_parser_expat.asp

If you want to do it in vB, you could use the class in includes/class_xml.php, and look at one of the files that uses it for an example, such as includes/adminfunctions_help.php.

That class parses xml in to an array. I made this test file which I put in my forum directory (and I put your xml in a file called "test.xml" in the same directory):

PHP Code:


			
<html><head></head><body>

<?php



$url = "http://localhost/forums/test.xml";



require_once('./includes/class_xml.php');



$xmlobj = new vB_XML_Parser(false, $url);

if ($xmlobj->error_no == 1)

{

    echo("error, no url specified");

}

else if ($xmlobj->error_no == 2)

{

    echo("error loading xml from '" . $url . "'");

}

else

{

    $data = $xmlobj->parse();

    $heading = $data['heading'];



    echo('$heading = \'' . $heading . "'");

}



?>



</body></html>

The output is:

Code:

$heading = ' Reminder '

Hope this helps.
