Hi All
I have simple XML code which I have used XSLT to output, both files are pasted below and the result can be seen at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://itsuite.it.brighton.ac.uk/pjgh1/birds.xml">http://itsuite.it.brighton.ac.uk/pjgh1/birds.xml</a><!-- m -->.
This was for experimental purposes, I now want to display the XML data on a PHP page but am incertain as to how, I have trawled the web and can't get my head round some of the solutions found as i loathe trying to unravel someone elses complicated, poorly explained code and tend to start daydreaming after about 3 seconds. Can anyone suggest a straightforward solution?
Many Thanks
