Hi All,
I'm hoping someone more familiar with this class than me can help me out. I'm developing a cronjob extension to do an xml import.

Currently I am getting the content by going the following process:

$category = $ad->elementByName( "Category" );
$category_name = $category->first_child();
$category_value = $category_name->content();

I'm guessing there is a much faster way to get straight at the value. Three lines of code for each value seems excessive.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

what I needed was;

$category_value = $ad->elementTextContentByName( "Category" );

Cheers.

Hi James

In case you are developing for eZ Publish 4.x, I recommend you to use the PHP 5 DOM functions instead of the ezxml library. The ezxml library is deprecated and will be removed in future eZ releases.
