Need help parsing XML attributes

[marktm]

Hi-

I am using the following code and want to retrieve an attributes value.
I want to loop through the xml file and add the attribute values to an
array. The line in question is marked with "<---??????" below.

I have included both the PHP and XML.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.
