xml parser

[marian]

how can i get the values from Games using an xml parser.

so basically using the below xml:

 <SPORT>
    <GAMES>
      <GAME NAME="running" NUMBER="120" />
      <GAME NAME="hockey" NUMBER="50" />
      <GAME NAME="basket ball" NUMBER="40" />    

    </GAMES>
  </SPORT>
 

i will get an array of values like this:

Games_1
name=>running
number=>120
Games_2
name=>hockey
number=>50
Games_3
name=>basket ball
number=>40

how can i get the values within the opening xml tags?
thanks

ok here is what i have:

 <SPORT>
    <GAMES>
      <GAME NAME="running" NUMBER="120" />
      <GAME NAME="hockey" NUMBER="50" />
      <GAME NAME="basket ball" NUMBER="40" />    

    </GAMES>
  </SPORT>
 

<?php
if (!($fp=@fopen("sports.xml", "r"))) die ("Couldn't open XML.");
$usercount=0;
$userdata=array();
$state='';

function startElementHandler ($parser,$name,$attrib)
{
	global $usercount;
	global $userdata;
	global $state;

switch ($name) 
{
	case $name=="GAMES" : 
	{
		//now how do i check case=="GAME"
		{
			$userdata[$usercount]["name"] = $attrib["NAME"];
			$userdata[$usercount]["number"] = $attrib["NUMBER"];
		}
		break;
	}				
	default : {$state=$name;break;}
}
}

function endElementHandler ($parser,$name)
{
	global $usercount;
	global $userdata;
	global $state;
	$state='';
	if($name=="SPORT") {$usercount++;}
}

function characterDataHandler ($parser, $data) 
{
	global $usercount;
	global $userdata;
	global $state;
	if (!$state) {return;}	
}

if (!($xml_parser = xml_parser_create())) die("Couldn't create parser.");
xml_set_element_handler( $xml_parser, "startElementHandler", "endElementHandler");
xml_set_character_data_handler( $xml_parser, "characterDataHandler");

while( $data = fread($fp, 4096))
{
	if(!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) 
	{
		break;
	}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?>

so now how do i check case is "GAME"
