Maybe a Two Step View approach will be more extendable. What if you want to add some divs here and there?
A good overview on buffering, but with frameworks and plugins now we have better solutions.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, if it can be done without SimpleXML then go for it.

My initial problem required something this complex. It basically required modifying a specfic set of tags, with SimpleXML I could run an XPath query and modify them, but easier than writing very complex regular expressions etc.

An ingenious solution, but wouldn’t it have been easier to do this with str_replace()? E.g.

$buffer = str_replace(”, ”, $buffer);

Should run much faster than parsing the entire document as XML.
