Hello. I'm new to *ix and am trying to pull a variable or two from an xml document. The document is in the format:
What I need to do is take the value or values from inside the <playlist> tags and assign them to variables. So, for this example, I'd like to be able to set $playlist1 to "Selects Day 5" and $playlist2 to "Dailies Day 5." The values in that xml tag will always be comma separated and there can be any number of them. I used grep to find the playlist lines, but don't know what to do next.
There are many more lines for each item described in the xml and there will be other instances of the <playlist> tag. I'll need to ignore instances of any value already set so, for example, once I've got the values "Selects Day 5" and "Dailies Day 5" from the above example I will need to ignore any further instances of those values until the script is executed again.

simplexml_load_file
SIMPLEXML_LOAD_FILE(3) 1 SIMPLEXML_LOAD_FILE(3)simplexml_load_file - Interprets an XML file into an objectSYNOPSIS
SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_file (string $filename, [string $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement"], [int $options], [string $ns = ""],
[bool $is_prefix = false])
DESCRIPTION
Convert the well-formed XML document in the given file to an object.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the XML file
Note
Libxml 2 unescapes the URI, so if you want to pass e.g. b&c as the URI parameter a, you have to call sim-
plexml_load_file(rawurlencode('http://example.com/?a=' . urlencode('b&c'))). Since PHP 5.1.0 you don't need to do this
because PHP will do it for you.
o $class_name
- You may use this optional parameter so that simplexml_load_file(3) will return an object of the specified class. That class
should extend the SimpleXMLElement class.
o $options
- Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the $options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
o $ns
- Namespace prefix or URI.
o $is_prefix
- TRUE if $ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI; defaults to FALSE.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held within the XML document, or FALSE on failure.
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data.
Tip
Use libxml_use_internal_errors(3) to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors(3) to iterate over them afterwards.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Interpret an XML document
<?php
// The file test.xml contains an XML document with a root element
// and at least an element /[root]/title.
if (file_exists('test.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
print_r($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
This script will display, on success:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[title] => Example Title
...
)
At this point, you can go about using $xml->title and any other elements.
