XML Parsing using PHP

HI,

I want to know about the XML parsing in PHP.
If anyone is having sample codes and examples, please post it here.

Thanks,

Download from http://xmlsapiens.org their free cms. It includes xml parsing function.
Really good starting point.

 

I use this to parse data from an external site retrieved using curl. Look here for explanations... http://www.php.net/xml_parse_into_struct

  	$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
  	xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $returnData, $vals, $index);
  	xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
  	
  	//create an associative array from the return structure
  	$nNumTags = count($vals);
  	
  	for ($nIndex = 0; $nIndex < $nNumTags; $nIndex++)
  	{
  		$strTagName = $vals[$nIndex]['tag'];
  		$strValue = $vals[$nIndex]['value'];
  		$strLevel = $vals[$nIndex]['level'];
  		if($strLevel == "2")
  		{
  			$aResult[$strTagName] = $strValue;
  		}
  	}
		
	print_r($aResult);

PHP:

 

www.php.net and read their manual for xml parsing functions...
