OJBECTIVE: My goal is to send a $_GET or $_POST variable from an RSS feed when the user clicks on a link housed within the <description> subelement of an <item> tag. The data from the superglobal will be used to display content on a host webpage designed as an index for all <item>s hosted within the same and ultimately other channels. CODE SAMPLE: <item> . . <description>Grammar Captive Free Weekly Podcasts: <![CDATA[<a href='http://www.grammarcaptive.com/podcasting/podcasts.php?episode_no=003' title='Episode Title' target='_self'>Episode No. 003</a>]]></description> . . </item> QUESTION: Will by placing the link with the intended address and appended http request code into a CDATA tag allow users to send the desire episode number to the designated PHP page for processing. ADVANCED STRATEGY: If the above is possible, do you have any suggestions in regard to the best way for the receiving PHP page to call up the material relevant to the designated episode? For example, I am contemplating the use of a SWITCH statement that would route the incoming episode number to a block of PHP or Javascript code that would insert the contents of another webpage, whose URL is the episode number of the incoming HTTP_REQUEST, and whose content is dedicated to the episode corresponding to the incoming episode number, into another webpage (likely the same page that contains the SWITCH statement) that serves as an index for all completed and upcoming episodes.

Hi thereI'm not a programmer, but need some help to find a way of displaying text in the CDATA section of an XML file using XSL. Or if there is an alternative to using XSL then I'm all ears (eyes?). Take, for example, the following line of my XML file: <property id="instruction1" media="screen"><![CDATA[<p>Select the <span class="bold">option</span> you think is correct.</p>]]></property> I ONLY want to display the text between the 'p' tags, i.e. "Select the option you think is correct." The formatting 'span' tag can be included if necessary, just as long as the 'p' tags are not displayed. Is this possible? Edit: I should clarify that I would like to create an XSL to use to display the XML content in a browser window. The full XML file is attached if required. Thanks a lotNiall 01_01_005.xml
