RE: [phoenix-dev] If I have an XML file to extract information from, what php calls/libraries do you suggest?

I originally started out using the simple XML APIs. Basically, it turns an
XML structure into something that looks an awful lot like a bunch of
objects. I wrote the SAX parsing stuff when I found out that the version of
PHP we were using didn't support the simple XML APIs.

Anyway.... Long story short... I like the Simple XML APIs and tend toward
recommending them.

The SAX parsing stuff I wrote works well, but takes a lot of effort to get
your brain around it.
