You don't need to do client-side transformation (although you could check user agent and do it client-side if the browser supports it). You can use Php's XSLT functions see the manual for more info. I was just suggesting this as a potential option. It may not be appropriate in this situation.

RE: [PHP] Re: Sorting parsed XML
Okay, that's neat and I get what you're saying with xml_process() to
handle this.
From what I'm reading, it would not allow this sort of procedure, but
please let me know otherwise:
==
echo td . $ServerName;
if ($ServerType)
{
echo i( . $ServerType . )/i/td\n;
} else {
echo /td\n;
}
if ($ServerStatus == Down)
{
echo tdi . $ServerStatus . /i/td\n;
} else {
echo td . $ServerPopulation . /td\n;
}
==
So, what would print in the first and 2nd column would depend upon the
results of one of two variables (1st column relies upon if there's a
$ServerType or not, 2nd column relies upon the $ServerStatus not being
Down).
My problem is still my own, I can't get it so that when I parse, the
information is placed into an array that can then be used for sorting.
This would be ideal for me as I plan on reading from more than one .xml
(different structures as well) on the same page if I can get this to
work.
I guess what I'm asking for is a method to parse information into an
array and then sort it by any part of the array. I attempted the
$ServerArray[$this-ServerName][$this-ServerStatus] = $data in the
parse section (where $data = current node value), but it didn't work.
Again, thanks for all your help so far and in advance for any help you
can provide.

RE: [PHP] Re: Sorting parsed XML
Unavailable as I am reading an XML file produced by another web site and it dynamically updates the information on the sheet every 5 minutes or so. At least to my knowledge of what XSLT can do.
