XML to php variables

[Ruko]

Is there any way to turn XML data into PHP variables. I tried this code

 

                  $xml = simplexml_load_file("../inc/xml/style.xml);
                $result = $xml->xpath("styleinfo");
                // lets make sql querys to upload the XML style info to the database
                $name = $result[0]->name;
                $desc = $result[0]->description;
                $copyright = $result[0]->copyright;
                $version = $result[0]->version;
                $designer = $result[0]->designer;
                mysql_query("INSERT INTO styles (stylename, styledescription, stylecopyright, version, designer) VALUES ('$name', '$desc', '$copyright', '$version', '$designer')") or die(mysql_error());
    

 

and the XML data outputs as blank. Help pls

forgot a double quote

 

$xml = simplexml_load_file("../inc/xml/style.xml");

Before adding it to the database echo it out and see what you get. Could you post some sample of the XML?
