getting data from a feed file

[jerry]

Ok, I have a feed that I need to get the data from. The file is an
html file that contains items. I need to step through the file,
getting the first item, doing whatever, then the second item, and so
on. Any thoughts on the best way to to this?

<Feed>
<Item>
<ID>Data I need</ID>
<Title>Data I need</Title>
</Item>
<Item>
<ID>Data I need</ID>
<Title>Data I need</Title>
</Item>
</Feed>

Yes, try these functions (explained at php.net with examples):

xml_parser_create()
xml_parser_set_option()
xml_parse_into_struct()
xml_parser_free()

These four , come one after another, and they will help you parse the
file easier.

If you prefer regular expressions, let me know :-)

Did you check out the DOM functions in PHP 5 (or DOM XML functions in
PHP 4)?

I am looking into the xml_parser_ functions. Currently my feed doesn't
seem to be XML encoded, or complaint.

How would I do it with regular expressions?
