Use simplexml, like so: http://blog.sherifmansour.com/?p=302

Would be nice if you provided the xml prolog as well. The children method accepts a namespace prefix if you need to use that.

You can use DOMDocument. To deal with namespaces (which you have) take a look at the methods that end in NS.

An alternative is SimpleXML. The SimpleXMLElement::children methods accepts a namespace or namespace prefix.
