How to get data from XML

You can implement it based on this example:

(file.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <list> <item type="Language"> <name>PHP</name> <link>www.php.net</link> </item> <item type="Database"> <name>Java</name> <link>www.oracle.com/br/technologies/java/‎</link> </item> </list> 

Php

 <?php $xml = simplexml_load_file("file.xml"); foreach($xml->children() as $child) { $role = $child->attributes(); foreach($child as $key => $value) { if($role == "Language") { echo("[".$key ."] ".$value . "<br />"); } } } 

Result:

 [name] PHP [link] www.php.net
