An honourable intention.  For which I am thankful.  Better still is to snip
away as much as possible, but then confirm that it still runs and fails as
you expect :o).

I do get a fair few mails, but if I get mails with php inline in the email,
then all I end up doing is creating a junk.php file and pasting the php in
then running it, so it's actually much easier if you just mail .php/.xml
files in their entirity.  What is annoying is getting php snippets with no
xml to run them against.  That means I have do debug by "inspection" which
is much harder than by "iteration".  There is however no need to mail me the
XPath.class.php, as I have access to the source for that.  Mentioning the
cvs version of the file should be all that's necessary.

Ok I made a one line change to get rid of the index errors.  You had:

    $myindex->appendData($myindex->appendChild($xmlpage,"item"),$itemvalue);

Which should have read:


$myindex->appendData($myindex->appendChild($xmlpage,"<item/>"),$itemvalue);

And then I hit the 30 second execution time limit.  So I trimmed the
bot_db.xml down to just the first and last "pages" then re-ran and produced
search_index.xml.  Without studying the code in detail, search_index.xml
looks "roughly" right.  Is it?  If not could you manufacture a small input
.xml file, and then show me what the output.xml file should look like?
