Smashing mate. The LinkedIn api is a pile of crap, using hyphens throughout their node names. This helped loads, thanks.

Thanks for the tip, very helpful. One quick follow up question. Any idea how to deal with hyphens in attributes?

I’m using the attributes() array to access an external xml file, and here is an example of the problem.

John Doe

print_r (person->attributes()) only yields an array with title and salary.

Thanks for any help.
