    Recommendations for parsing XML with PHP

    I am a novice with PHP, in fact so novice, that I come from the
    Windows world. I have successfully set up my Slackware distro on my
    laptop, downloaded, compiled and installed Apache 2.x and PHP 5.x. We
    have a configuration file an application of ours uses, that I wish to
    convert to XML and will be writing a WEB UI to change the XML. What
    PHP classes, source, scripts (what ever one calls it and please let me
    know) are there to read in a XML file, manipulate it and write back
    up. I am looking for some sample and hopefully instruction on how to
    install the extension (or what ever it might end up being)'



    Thanks

      From Sams Teach Yourself PHP in 24 hours page 410 -
      "In this section we will examin the mosta stable of PHP's XML tools. The
      parser functions enable us to access XML documents quickly and with minimal
      programming.
      The functions Jim Clarke's Expat Library (XML Parser Toolkit), which is
      available from http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html. If you are running
      Apache 1.3.7 or later, you will already have Expat bundled with your server,
      and you may find that the XML functions are available to you without the
      explicit compile options. Otherwise you should install Expat and add
      --with-xml
      to your configure options.....The parser model is 'event-based'. As
      components of the XML document are reached, user-created callback functions
      will be called."

      Hope this helps,
      Kyle
