Help parsing XML where tags have children (Amazon)

Hey,

I've been reading tutorials to try and learn how to parse Amazon's ECS xml feed. I've been able to parse the ASIN and DetailPageUrl, but all the other tags in the XML feed are children of other tags like:

<SmallImage>
<URL>http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/11ynduRZT1L.jpg</URL>
<Height Units="pixels">75</Height>
<Width Units="pixels">75</Width>
</SmallImage>

I want to retrieve the SmallImage->URL tag. Most of the syntax I've tried don't return anything unless I only use the tag "url", which returns all the image urls (small, medium, large, as in the example below).

So basically, what should I change to bring in the SmallImage->Url?

Here is the code I'm using:
<?php

$counter = 0;
$type = 0;
$tag = "";
$itemInfo = array();
$channelInfo = array();

function opening_element($xmlParser, $name, $attribute){

global $tag, $type;

$tag = $name;

if($name == "RequestProcessingTime"){
$type = 1;
}
else if($name == "ITEM"){
$type = 2;
}

}//end opening element


function closing_element($xmlParser, $name){

global $tag, $type, $counter;

$tag = "";
if($name == "ITEM"){
$type = 0;
$counter++;
}
else if($name == "ITEMSEARCHRESPONSE"){
$type = 0;
}
}//end closing_element

function c_data($xmlParser, $data){

global $tag, $type, $itemInfo, $counter;

$data = trim(htmlspecialchars($data));

if($tag == "ASIN" || $tag == "DETAILPAGEURL" || $tag == "TITLE" || $tag == "URL"){
if($type == 1){



}//end checking channel
else if($type == 2){

$itemInfo[$counter][strtolower($tag)] .= $data;

}//end checking for item
}//end checking tag
}//end cdata funct

$xmlParser = xml_parser_create();

xml_parser_set_option($xmlParser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, TRUE);
xml_parser_set_option($xmlParser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, TRUE);

xml_set_element_handler($xmlParser, "opening_element", "closing_element");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xmlParser, "c_data");

$fp = file("http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Version=2005-03-23&Operation=ItemSearch&ContentType=text%2Fxml&SubscriptionId=1WWR3NK01ZKDPXB5FE82&AssociateTag=cd-home-20&SearchIndex=PetSupplies&Keywords=dog%20clothes&ResponseGroup=Medium");

foreach($fp as $line){
if(!xml_parse($xmlParser, $line)){
die("Could not parse file.");
}
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
Description of Feed: <br /><br />
<?php
foreach($itemInfo as $items){
echo $items["title"]."<br />";
echo $items["url"]."<br />";
echo "<a href='".$items["detailpageurl"]."'>".$items["asin"]."</a><br /><br />";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
