Thanks for your kind comments. :o)

Means you probably need to convert from "tag" to "<tag/>" in your calls to
appendChild() etc?

I'm not really sure what isn't working if anything, or what it's meant to
do.... but $resultarray is never set, so it will never execute any of the
inside of the foreach($resultarray as ....) loop, hence the above code isn't
really going to do a whole lot...

No problem.  It would be most helpful if you could attach .php/.xml/.html
files that I can copy out and run and examine the output against your output
to a) see if I get the same results and then b) work out if those results
are "correct".
