Can't get this small piece of code to work? Need help

[SM]

I'm using simpleXML in PHP and i Can't get this small piece of code to
work? Need help

I have an XML that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<VIDEO>
<item>
<title>Letters</title>
<videos>
<title>a</title>
<title>b</title>
<title>c</title>
</videos>
</item>

<item>
<title>Numbers</title>
<videos>
<title>1</title>
<title>2</title>
<title>3</title>
</videos>
</item>
</VIDEO>

$file = 'db.xml';
$xml = @simplexml_load_file($file);

foreach($xml->item as $item) {
echo 'Letters ' . $item->title;

foreach($item->videos as $vid) {
echo $vid->title;
}
}
Output: LettersaNumbers1
It should be: LettersabcNumbers123

What's wrong?

Thanks
Marco

You have only 1 videos elementper item, but several title elements in 1
video. Casting $vid->title to string will by default take the text
content of the first title element.

foreach($xml->item as $item) {
echo $item->title;
foreach($item->videos as $vid) {
foreach($vid->title as $title) echo $title;
}
}

I've changed the XML so i only use two 'foreach' loops instead of 3 (I
think it's simply too much)
<VIDEO>
<item>
<title>Letters</title>
<video>a</video>
<video>b</video>
<video>c</video>
</item>

<item>
<title>Numbers</title>
<video>1</video>
<video>2</video>
<video>3</video>
</item>
</VIDEO>
foreach($xml->item as $item) {
echo $item->title;

foreach($item->videos as $vid) {
echo $vid;
}

}

Thanks again for the tip
