Example#1 Interpret an XML string
<?php
$string = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<document>
<title>Forty What?</title>
<from>Joe</from>
<to>Jane</to>
<body>
I know that's the answer -- but what's the question?
</body>
</document>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
var_dump($xml);
?>
The above example will output:
SimpleXMLElement Object ( [title] => Forty What? [from] => Joe [to] => Jane [body] => I know that's the answer -- but what's the question? )
At this point, you can go about using $xml->body and such.
