xml parsing: newby

[marco]

I'm trying to parse a xml bookmarkpage with php. I found a very useful
example script about how you can parse a xml document with php. The
scriptworks really smooth. The xml test document (See ‘Testxml'
beneath) is parsed correctly and with the php sniplet:

$counting=count ($xmlC->obj_data->DATA[0]->IP_RECORD); //to find out
the number of elements in the array

I can figure out how much IP_RECORD elements (=2) there are in the
DATA array. But the bookmarks xml file (see the ‘bookmarks xml'
beneath the ‘Testxml' document ) has a totally different structure
which looks very strange to me if you compare it with the ‘Testxml'
document. There are no unique tagnames to seperate the different
bookmarks so I have no idea how to filter out the 6 bookmarks
elements.
I'm a xml newby so probably this notation is not strange at all and a
piece of cake....well I'm anctious to know if somebody can spread some
light on this matter.

Thank you for your attention,

Marco
