", ";         }         return $str;     }     foreach ($items $node)     {         echo tdrows($node->childnodes) . "<br />";     } } 

the problem facing content of table has html inputs , want value of inputs. table of form:

<table> <tr><td><input type="text" /></td><td><input type="text" /></td><td><div class="add">add</div></td></tr> </table>
