read XML attribs PHP 4.3.10

[spelltwister]

Hey all,

I'm having a hard time finding any examples of parsing XML that has attributes.

Here's the xml:

<units>
<persiancamp unit="infantry" number="8" owner="persian" ranged="0" />
<persiancamp unit="xerxes" number="1" owner="persian" ranged="0" />
<m1 unit="sInfantry" number="1" owner="persian" ranged="1" />
<...>
</units>

I have an array with all possible tag names and I need to be able to do something like this:

$array = array('persiancamp','m1'...);
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($array);$i++){

//CYCLE THROUGH XML FINDING IF TAGS MATCH CURRENT ARRAY VALUE, GATHER ALL ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION

}

Any help, or links to tutorials are much appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike
