    copied!<p>You can use simplexml extension functions to achieve your goals. With this extension you can load xml from <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-file.php" rel="nofollow">file</a>, from <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php" rel="nofollow">string</a> or from a <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-import-dom.php" rel="nofollow">html node</a>. Follow the links to get more information about each load function. I will explain here how to load using simplexml_load_file. This code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo "&lt;pre&gt;"; $xml = simplexml_load_file("name.xml"); print_r($xml); echo "&lt;/pre&gt;"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Will return this:</p> <pre><code>SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] =&gt; Array ( [count] =&gt; [time] =&gt; 0.011766910552979 ) [item] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [id] =&gt; 607 [name] =&gt; MSPOT6071 [description] =&gt; Hip Hop / Raps [type] =&gt; 3 [radio_folder_id] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) [albumart] =&gt; http://cdn.7static.com/static/img/sleeveart/00/009/560/0000956027_175.jpg [albumart_300] =&gt; http://cdn.7static.com/static/img/sleeveart/00/009/560/0000956027_350.jpg [albumart_500] =&gt; http://cdn.7static.com/static/img/sleeveart/00/009/560/0000956027_500.jpg ) [1] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [id] =&gt; 48542614 [name] =&gt; US Pop - TESTB [description] =&gt; Blues [type] =&gt; 3 [radio_folder_id] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>The information you want, can be accessed like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo "&lt;pre&gt;"; $xml = simplexml_load_file("name.xml"); print_r($xml); echo "&lt;/pre&gt;"; echo "&lt;pre&gt;"; foreach($xml-&gt;children() as $item){ $arr = get_object_vars($item); foreach($arr as $key=&gt;$value){ echo "$key =&gt; $value" . PHP_EOL; } } echo "&lt;/pre&gt;"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note it will be accessed as object first. Then you can get all object vars to dynamically navigate through your object attributes.</p>
