Looks like the question got deleted when I was pasting code.I have included two functions below. One is a function for logging in and obtaining a session id, and the latter function is for getting some meta data, which uses the session id obtained form the Login(); function. I have a feeling that this script can be cleaned up immensely, but every time I attempt to do so it breaks.Is there a more elegant way of sending data than fput?Is there a more elegant way of parsing an XML response that using the between(); before(); and after(); functions?Can this script be made more dynamic to eventually be used in a library of sorts?I have an understanding of how PHP classes can be used, but I have no where to start. \[code\]<?php function Login () { // Host, Servlet, Port, and Time Out information $host='host.example.com'; $servlet='XMLAPI'; $port='80'; $time_out='20'; // Username and Password Variables $username = 'SomeUserId'; $password = 'Somepassword'; $sock = fsockopen ($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $time_out); $data = "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3621539/xml=<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><Envelope><Body><Login>"; $data .= "<USERNAME>" . $username .
