Hi,

I want to know, How we will read the XML File Comments using PHP Code.
Thaks in advance.

Your problem is not clear to me. Are you actually reading the xml file and want to skip the comment lines? What is the process you are following to read this file?

Show the code you are using to read the xml data.

And display it within php or code tags!!

 <row><v> 3.4100000000e+0 2 </v></row>
 <row><v> 3.4100000000e+0 2 </v></row>

 <row><v> 3.5140000000e+0 2 </v></row>
 <row><v> 3.5140000000e+0 2 </v></row>

[php]
<?php

$doc = new DOMDocument();

$doc->load( 'hbwas51_proc_5 4.xml' );

$rows = $doc->getElementsByT agName("row");
foreach($rows as $node) {
print $node->textContent . " ";
}
[/php]
