The code you posted isn't (valid) XML.

If it was (valid) XML, you could use PHP DOM instead of doing things manually.

what i need is to to loop the whole multidimentional array & output each into varaibles that i can use
If you have it in an array, you allready have a variable you can use.

ie .. $category_name = $arrXml[CREATED][CATEGORY][0]['@attributes']['name'];
There is no need to assign an array element to a new variable. You will just have the same value in two places, and you are obviously allready accessing this value when you assign it to the new variable.

Control Structures, and more specifically, check the entries for "for" and "foreach".

XML validation errors
1. You are missing the xml opening tag.
2. Some tags are preceeded by a hyphen (-)
3.Some closing tags are malformed (</endtag> is correct, <endtag/> is not)
<empty_element/> is correct, but that is not an endtag, it's an opening and closing tag for an empty element.
