XML to mysql help

[Mark_Nordstrom]

I'm trying to make a php script to upload an xml file to mysql. I got it to parse the file and show it on the page.

<?
$file = "$form_data"; 

function contents($parser, $data){ 
    echo $data; 
} 

function startTag($parser, $data){ 
    echo "<b>"; 
} 

function endTag($parser, $data){ 
    echo "</b>"; 
} 

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); 

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag"); 

xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents"); 

$fp = fopen($file, "r"); 

$data = fread($fp, 80000); 

if(!(xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)))){ 
    die("Error on line " . xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)); 
} 

xml_parser_free($xml_parser); 

fclose($fp);
?> 

Now what i need to do is select the name field from the XML file and insert that into a database called test. Ive tried using load XML local infile and other methods but I cant get anything to work.
