I'm really sorry if I'm frustrating you, I'm trying to figure this out and I appreciate your input.
I've tried replacing what I have with the code from your previous post but I'm just getting the region names and nothing else. I'm unsure as to whether I need to totally scrap the XMLreader you posted first of all.
I'll post my code which works at the moment, if you could advise me where to change it that would help, otherwise I understand if you'd rather just virtually punch me in the face and let me work it out for myself.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); // Turn on all errors, warnings, and notices for easier debugging
$endpoint = 'http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1'; // URL to call
$reader = new XMLReader();
$reader->open('config.xml');
while ($reader->read()) {
if($reader->nodeType == XMLREADER::ELEMENT){
if ($reader->name == "name"){
$reader->read();
$name = trim($reader->value);
}elseif($reader->name == "region"){
$reader->read();
$region = trim($reader->value);
}
if(!empty($name) && !empty($region)){
$city_array[] = "'$name, $region'";
$name="";$region="";
}
}
}
$query = implode(', ', $city_array);

$xmlfilter .= "<itemFilter>\n";
// Iterate through each key in the filter
foreach($itemfilter as $key => $value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
// If value is an array, iterate through each array value
foreach($value as $arrayval) {
$xmlfilter .= " <$key>$arrayval</$key>\n";
}
}
