I assume, you had configured your parser that way, because empty tags in in DVDPro 2.x where not really empty, they contained a line break. In the XML generated by DVDPro3 this is no longer the case. Also, fields are no longer optional, they are always exported.

DVDPro 2.x:
<Tag>
</Tag>

DVDPro 3:
<Tag/> or <Tag></Tag>

Yes, indeed that was the reason ... and knowing the fields will always be there lets me "clean up" the code a lot (by which I mean be lazier about validation )

Ah, the Ken Cole school of programming.

Oooo ... Zing.
Actually, there's quite a bit of validation in phpdvdprofiler, but the previous position was to "fix" bad/missing data and the majority opinion from users now is to let it all hang out so that they can find problems in their local dbs. This is as good a time as any for me to leave the checking but remove the "fixing" ...
