Hello all, I need to parse some xml documents. I use Simple:XML and it works ok up to the point of matching elements that occur just once in my documents. How can I process something like: <PubmedArticle>
<AuthorList CompleteYN="Y">
<Author ValidYN="Y">
<LastName>Wilde</LastName>
<ForeName>A</ForeName>
<Initials>A</Initials>
</Author>
<Author ValidYN="Y">
<LastName>Reaves</LastName>
<ForeName>B</ForeName>
<Initials>B</Initials>
</Author>
<Author ValidYN="Y">
<LastName>Banting</LastName>
<ForeName>G</ForeName>
<Initials>G</Initials>
</Author>
</AuthorList>
</Article>
</PubmedArticle>
and print all Authors' names?

It would be something like this, which you have to include in a loop:
foreach($xml->Author as $author)
echo $author->LastName.'<br/>';

What's this? You should be getting an error in your tag mismatches. After you fix that (remove it) you will have to go another node deeper in your xml object to get the Author information:
foreach($xml->AuthorList->Author as $author) {
echo $author->LastName.'<br/>';
}
