XML Parsing

[alphador]

Hi, how would you parse in php an xml like this one:

<archive>
  <book name="AAA" />
  <collection>
    <book name="BBB" />
  </collection>
</archive>

If I use PHP function getElementsByTagName to get the tags "book" it returns both the one with name "AAA" and the one with name "BBB", but I want to get them separately, since they are at different levels.

Is this possible?

Thanks

$string = <<<XML
<archive>
  <book name="AAA" />
  <collection>
    <book name="BBB" />
  </collection>
</archive>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
print_r($xml);
