XML parsing using SimplEXML

[ossfreak]

I'm trying to implement parsing an xml file using simpleXML.
The server being used is APACHE and the php version is 5.0.4.
Since the version of php being used is 5.0.4 the function getname() and xpath and many more not available.

I'm having problems on how to get the node names,and on how to get the CDATA of an xml.

If i write a recursive function im having problems to access the attributes of the parent->child->child attributes and so on.

Also i cannot use functions lilke xml_set_element_handler and xml_set_character_data_handler since i want to implement this using simpleXML alone.

Can someone please help me out on how to implement parsing of an xml file using simpleXML?

There is plenty of documentation about how to use SimpleXML to get at the parts of an XML document in the manual. Which bits in particular do you need help with? The use of getName to get the name of an element, or $document->node to get the text in a <node> element?

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is i cant use getName() since my version of php is 5.0.4.
I wanted to know a method in which i can get the names of the nodes without using getName(),and after i get the nodes i should search for attributes of that node and if there are any children in that node and this process should carry on for every node that is present.
