Another option is the SimpleXML extension  I believe it comes standard with most php installs    http   php net manual en book simplexml php  The syntax looks something like this for your example   xml   new SimpleXMLElement  xmlString   echo  xml- gt bbb- gt cccc- gt dddd  Id    echo  xml- gt bbb- gt cccc- gt eeee  name       or            foreach   xml- gt bbb- gt cccc as  element      foreach  element as  key   gt   val       echo    key     val
