the code came out horribly in email, but you should be able to use
xpath-y type stuff to access it.
i.e.
foreach($sxml->node->childnode as $node) {
now you are in a foreach loop on this level
}
simplexml is great for quick parsing of well-formed XML.
there's also DOM functions, PEAR libraries, and of course XSLT to try
to get the XML into an easier to use format... but I typically try to
use built in stuff when possible :)
