css selector on php

Note

• I wrote this library for my project Queslite(http://queslite.com), it's a solution for questionnaire auto genarate. It translate user input into XML, then use xlst to translate XML into HTML to display.
• Queslite is totally coded by PHP 5.2+, I wrote the xml selector for that to make a easy way to find XMLNode, set and get its value, attributes.
• Use this library, you could select xml note like using jQuery. Although I just implement some simple features of jQuery, it would be useful for you while programming a xml base project. I hope this would be helpful. :)
  • PS: jQuery is a great js library.
