XML parse error

Hey Everyone,

 

I have been given an assignment where i am given an XML file and i need to parse it.  The XML is in the following format:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<title>Library</title> 
<library>
<book id="1"> 
	<author>J.K.Rowling</author>
	<name>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone</name> 
</book> 
<book id="2"> 
	<author>J.K.Rowling</author>
	<name>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets</name> 
</book>
</library>

 

The problem i have is when i try an parse this XML, with SimpleXML, i get the following error

parser error : Extra content at the end of the document

The source of this error is due to there being no root node.

 

This has left me in a bit of a predicament.  Is there anyway of parsing XML in this format without the root node being added?

 

Regards,

-Ben

I can give pointers, sure, but I don't know what all you've been taught. Your teacher wouldn't ask you to write a parser unless s/he gave instructions on how to do so.

 

So now, (a) did the teacher tell you how to do it and (b) are you sure you're supposed to?
