Hi Adam,
Actually you are correct. Sorry to confuse.
Its an XML response  from the USPS api I am going through, which I am  
converting to an array.

Here is the response that I am trying to convert to a multidimensional  
array.

This is my attempt to convert. I thought of setting up a blank array  
then filling that array with the specialservice arrays

$data = strstr($result, '<?');
// echo '<!-- '. $data. ' -->'; // Uncomment to show XML in comments
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING,  
"ISO-8859-1");
xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $result, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
$params = array();
$level = array();
foreach ($vals as $xml_elem) {
     if ($xml_elem['type'] == 'open') {
         if (array_key_exists('attributes',$xml_elem)) {
         	list($level[$xml_elem['level']],$extra) =  
array_values($xml_elem['attributes']);
         } else {
         	$level[$xml_elem['level']] = $xml_elem['tag'];
         }
     }
     if ($xml_elem['type'] == 'complete') {
     $start_level = 1;
     $php_stmt = '$params';
     while($start_level < $xml_elem['level']) {
         $php_stmt .= '[$level['.$start_level.']]';
         $start_level++;
     }
     $php_stmt .= '[$xml_elem[\'tag\']] = $xml_elem[\'value\'];';
			
     eval($php_stmt);
     }
}

... then trying to pull data from the results of the $php_stmt


$sid = array();
$numserv = count($params['RATEV4RESPONSE'][''.$p.$ack.''][$cId] 
['SPECIALSERVICES']);
if($numserv > 0) {
	foreach($params['RATEV4RESPONSE'][''.$p.$ack.''][$cId] 
['SPECIALSERVICES']['SPECIALSERVICE'] as $sp_servs) {
		$sid_val = $sp_servs['SERVICEID'];
		if(in_array($sid_val, $sid)) {
			return;
		} else {
			if($sp_servs['AVAILABLEONLINE'] == true) {
				$extracost += $sp_servs['PRICEONLINE'];
			} else {
				$extracost += $sp_servs['PRICE'];
			}
			$sid[$i] = $sid_val;
		}
	}
}

echo("<br><br>Services Array :<br>");
$num_array_items = count($sid);
for($i=0; $i < $num_array_items; $i++) {
	echo($i.". ".$sid[$i]."<br>");
}
