Question

Answer 1

A:

Look at SimpleXML, it's the easiest way to parse XML with PHP.

IMO, the "simple" in SimpleXML does not refer to it's purported oh so "simple" usage, but to the complexity of the XML it should be used on, e.g. use SimpleXML when your XML is simple. Use DOM otherwise. But since learning two DOM based libraries is a waste of time, you can just as well learn DOM directly (or XMLReader if you want a pull parser instead)

Answer 2

+1 A:

You should look into simpleXML (http://php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php)

Using simpleXML you could do something like:

$xml = simplexml_load_file($xmlFile,'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
$ip = (string) $xml->Ip;
$status = (string) $xml->Status;

Answer 3

+1 A:

Use a SimpleXml instance and loop through all the children nodes

$url = 'http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=74.125.45.100&amp;timezone=true';
$xml = new SimpleXmlElement($url, null, true);

$info = array();
foreach ($xml->children() as $child) {
    $name = $child->getName();
    $info[$name] = $xml->$name;
}

// info['Ip'] = '74.125.45.100', etc
