Hi

I have an XML generated by another computer application. The format is
as below. (Don't worry about the data in the XML. Its the test
data).

I am able to locate the correct member bill using XPATH.
However I have hit a bottleneck. I am unable to echo all the <line>
elements. This is what happens

$row = simplexml_load_string($member->asXML());

echo $line->particular1;
echo $line->amount1;
echo $line->particular2;
echo $line->amount2;

Echoes the first <line> element of the member bill. If I add the same
set of statements it echoes the second <line> element and so on. But
then if I put the following code which I feel is correct
$row = simplexml_load_string($member->asXML());

foreach ($row->line as $line);
{
echo $line->particular1;
echo $line->amount1;
echo $line->particular2;
echo $line->amount2;
}

Echoes only the last <line> element of the member. Can someone tell me
what's wrong

I managed to solve this myself. Here is the code. For some reason
"foreach" works for the first set of non unique tags and doesn't work if
the non unique tags are nested within the first set. Use the following
code to access the tag values of the nested non unique tags. (see the
XML file below if this seems confusing)

$chi = count($member->line);
for ($i = 0; $i < $chi; $i++)
{
echo $member->line[$i]->particular1;
echo $member->line[$i]->amount1;
echo $member->line[$i]->particular2;
echo $member->line[$i]->amount2;
}


Best regards

Sridhar
