    <p>I'm trying to make a page using data from the discogs.com (XML)-API. i've been parsing it with simpleXML and it's working pretty well but there is some things i'm not sure how to do.</p> <p>Here is part of the XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;releases&gt; &lt;release id="1468764" status="Accepted" type="Main"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Versions&lt;/title&gt; &lt;format&gt;12", EP&lt;/format&gt; &lt;label&gt;Not On Label&lt;/label&gt; &lt;year&gt;1999&lt;/year&gt; &lt;/release&gt; &lt;release id="72246" status="Accepted" type="Main"&gt; &lt;title&gt;The M.O.F Blend&lt;/title&gt; &lt;format&gt;LP&lt;/format&gt; &lt;label&gt;Blenda Records&lt;/label&gt; &lt;year&gt;2002&lt;/year&gt; &lt;/release&gt; &lt;release id="890064" status="Accepted" type="Main"&gt; &lt;title&gt;The M.O.F Blend&lt;/title&gt; &lt;format&gt;CD&lt;/format&gt; &lt;label&gt;Blenda Records&lt;/label&gt; &lt;year&gt;2002&lt;/year&gt; &lt;/release&gt; &lt;release id="1563561" status="Accepted" type="TrackAppearance"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Ännu En Gång Vol. 3&lt;/title&gt; &lt;trackinfo&gt;Backtrack&lt;/trackinfo&gt; &lt;format&gt;Cass, Comp, Mix&lt;/format&gt; &lt;label&gt;Hemmalaget&lt;/label&gt; &lt;year&gt;2001&lt;/year&gt; &lt;/release&gt; &lt;/releases&gt; </code></pre> <p>What i want to achieve is something similair to how discogs presents the releases: <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mics+Of+Fury" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mics+Of+Fury</a> where diferent versions of the same release are sorted together. (see. The M.O.F Blend in my link) This is done on discogs with having a master release that features the other releases. unfortunately this information isn't present in the API data, so i want to do the same thing by grouping the <code>&lt;release&gt;</code>-nodes with the same <code>&lt;title&gt;</code>-tags, or add a flag to the <code>&lt;releases&gt;</code> that don't have a unique <code>&lt;title&gt;</code>? any good ideas on the best way of doing this?</p> <p>i also like to know if it's possible to count the <code>&lt;release&gt;</code>-nodes (child of releases) that have the same type-attribute? like in this example count the releases with the type "Main"?</p> <p>maybe it's better to do this things with XMLReader or XPath?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
