actually ive not heard of dataprovider until now for this before you mentioned a php issue or xml ? thats the reason i feel confused. also i mentioned if i could get a working example off the web, which is still desired but not given. I'll search and see what i can find. but basically your stating a dataprovider is what im looking for.
