Reading XML into PHP

[n3mesis125]

Hey Folks, I have something simliar to this in XML but i'm not sure how to access the attributes of each row. Is there an easy foreach() statement I can do to access the attributes? Basically I'm trying to loop through the below items and only spit out the solarSystemName data for each row set.

 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<eveapi version="2">
  <currentTime>2007-12-14 20:19:41</currentTime>
  <result>
    <rowset name="solarSystems" key="solarSystemID" columns="solarSystemID,allianceID,constellationSovereignty,sovereigntyLevel,factionID,solarSystemName">
      <row solarSystemID="30023410" allianceID="0" constellationSovereignty="0" sovereigntyLevel="0" factionID="500002" solarSystemName="Embod" />
      <row solarSystemID="30001597" allianceID="1028876240" constellationSovereignty="0" sovereigntyLevel="3" factionID="0" solarSystemName="M-NP5O" />
      <row solarSystemID="30001815" allianceID="389924442" constellationSovereignty="0" sovereigntyLevel="3" factionID="0" solarSystemName="4AZV-W" />
      <row solarSystemID="30001816" allianceID="0" constellationSovereignty="0" sovereigntyLevel="0" factionID="0" solarSystemName="UNV-3J" />
      <row solarSystemID="30000479" allianceID="0" constellationSovereignty="824518128" sovereigntyLevel="0" factionID="0" solarSystemName="SLVP-D" />
      <row solarSystemID="30000480" allianceID="824518128" constellationSovereignty="824518128" sovereigntyLevel="3" factionID="0" solarSystemName="0-G8NO" />
    </rowset>
    <dataTime>2007-12-14 14:49:43</dataTime>
  </result>
  <cachedUntil>2007-12-15 02:19:41</cachedUntil>
</eveapi>

here is a basic tutorial on the XML DOM and XML parser that PHP has built in.

Something similar with an extensive library is the simpleXML extension.
