parsing xml

[KashKurcura]

Hello:

Could someone please tell me how I would go about parsing this xml file into its variables?

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <direct version="1.0">
<approval>yes</approval>
<amount>100</amount>
<trans_id>123456</trans_id>
<error>none</error>
<fee>5</fee>
<time>{ts '2001-10-01 00:00:00'}</time>
<firstname>John</firstname>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
</direct>

Any help would be great!

Have a look to http://www.zend.com/zend/art/parsing.php if you want an exhaustive tutorial

You might also want to go to www.amazon.com and take a look at this book. I just got a copy of it, and it looks pretty good so far.

Or read some of the articles under XML:
