I am wanting to parse certain info from this XML - http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198283429063/?xml=1

 

The only info I need is

 

<onlineState>offline</onlineState>

 

<stateMessage>

Load the XML into SimpleXML

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198283429063/?xml=1", 0, true);

then use SimpleXML's "simple" means of accessing information.

 

Keep in mind that most of what you get from it will be objects and not strings so you'll probably want to (string)-typecast stuff.

 

If you have a problem with something in particular then post your code and an explanation of what's going wrong.
