XML parsing in PHP question.

[Timewind]

situation:
file.xml - is the tree containing info like this:

<department name="Users" code="US">
<group name="New Band" code="NB" manager="Will Smith" id="4">
<person state="Singer" id="12">Sting</person>
<person state="Vocals" id="10">Peter Gabriel</person>
</group>
</department>
<department name="Others" code="OT">
<group name="Old Band" code="OB" manager="Jack Frost" id="21">
<person state="Bass" id="62">Deackon</person>
<person state="Drums" id="50">Taylor</person>
</group>
</department>

Using PHP I want to have/get
- state value for person with id 62
- group names in Others department
- person state and/or text in group named Old Band
etc.

thanx ahead.

А в чем собственно вопрос? Если есть DOM экстеншн то:
http://am.php.net/domxml
если нет то погрязней получается, но все же работает:
http://am.php.net/xml

а дом экстеншн кажись начиная с пхп5.0 уже билт ин.
