There are a whole bunch of PHP XML APIs you can use. Try [SimpleXML](http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php). — spencercw, Apr 02 '12 at 19:19
There's sample code on the page I linked. We're not here to spoon feed the code to you. — spencercw, Apr 02 '12 at 19:34

You can use the xml_parse_into_struct() function for an easy to parse XML.

<?php
$simple = "<para><note>simple note</note></para>";
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $simple, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($p);
echo "Index array\n";
print_r($index);
echo "\nVals array\n";
print_r($vals);
?>
