Can PHP Read "CData" Info?
Hello again.
Lets say that was reading an XML file and I wanted to pull and save to a variable the text only info in between these tags:
[CODE]
<description><![CDATA[ [I][U]some text, some text, and some text[/U][/I] […]]]></description>
How would I go about doing that with PHP? Is it even possible?

<?php
$xml = <<<EOD
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<document>
<thing>
<description><![CDATA[The first thing]]></description>
</thing>
<thing>
<description><![CDATA[The second thing]]></description>
</thing>
</document>
EOD;
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
$descriptions = $dom->getElementsByTagName('description');
foreach($descriptions as $desc)
{
echo "<p>".$desc->textContent."</p>n";
}[/code]
