This tutorial will explain how to parse (that is, read and interpret) information from a XML file using PHP. I will discuss the very basics of XML (mainly structure), and then jump right in to the reading and parsing of XML files. This is not a tutorial on XML itself, just parsing XML with PHP.

First, the pre-requisites. Stuff you will need to ensure you have running.

Web server with PHP installed. No special extensions are needed for this tutorial.
Ability to save files on the webserver (either upload, or save directly via FTP)
A decent text editor. Preferrably one that has syntax highlighting support for PHP
