Get XML data and convert to PHP variable

[doc1355]

I have a XML file that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
  <product>
    <sku>10001</sku>
    <qty>3</qty>
    <price>822.51</price>
  </product>
  <product>
    <sku>10002</sku>
    <qty>1</qty>
    <price>320.86</price>
  </product>
  <product>
    <sku>10003</sku>
    <qty>0</qty>
    <price>498.91</price>
  </product>
</products>

I want to get the <price>....</price> convert it to a php variable calculate a new nymber based on that price then add a new element <price2>...</price2> to each product. I know how to calculate and add new element. The only part that I don't know is how to get the price for each product and convert it to a variable.
Is there a simple php code that could do this?

Thanks

Not really,
There are a couple of XML components built into php.
I recommend studying a tutorial about DOM for XML using php.
Sorry, don't have a link but just Google

You can read your XML file data as described in below example, lets say your xml is products.xml. just add these lines to a php scripts which is placed in the same directory as your xml file.

[PHP]<?php
if (!$xmlObj=simplexml_load_file('products.xml')){
echo 'Error reading XML file';
}
foreach($xmlObj as $product){

echo 'Price : ' . $product->price . '<br />';

}
?>[/PHP]

please read the documentation for simplexml_load_file
