[SOLVED] Working with XML

[JSHINER]

I have an XML file that looks like this:

Learn XML Parser

What version of PHP are you running? If it's PHP5+, you can try using the SimpleXML extension, but if you're using PHP4, you'll need to build your own parser to know how to handle the tags and variables you are after. There are a number of good tutorials available on how to do this (like this one). Google will be your best friend on this one.
