SimpleXMLElement Object?

Unfortunately, SimpleXML by itself does not easily allow you to do what you want to do. Luckily DOM does ( FIXED ).

From the code above I get Call to a member function appendChild() on a non-object I can do while(list( , $node) = each($nodes)) { echo $node->asXML();} to get values from $nodes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
