[phpXML] a few questions

Call evaluate(), then count the entires in the array of XPath addresses
returned.

Currently no, but I think the print_as_xml() function will be expanded in
the future to allow you to print part of the xml file.  I think someone may
have already written this but I don't have the source.

Nothing is stopping you from mailing us.  There is nothing binding us to
answer though ;o)

Yes.  It's still very much in development.
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmldb has the latest version,
currently 1.N.4.  You'll find change log and outstanding issues there too.
You'll also find links to the archive for this list held at
www.geocrawler.com
