Answer 1

Generally speaking, you create a valid XML file by specifying a root node, with varying levels of subnodes.



So, rather than the structure you show, it would be more like this:

To traverse this document, I would use XMLReader.




$doc = new XMLReader();

$doc->open("books.xml");

while($doc->read()) {

//code to do whatever you want done here.

}

$doc->close();

?>

Answer 2

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();



$xmlDoc->load("xml.xml");



$x = $xmlDoc->documentElement;



foreach ($x->childNodes AS $item)

{

foreach ($item->childNodes AS $y)

{

echo $y->nodeName . " = " . $y-nodeValue;

}

}



I think that something like that will solve it. Go to the site and read some more for more details on what you are trying to accomplish.
