XML and PHP

Can anybody tell me of a good XML and php tutorial? I know how to make
an xml file. I just am unable, at this moment, how to read that into
php.

I am able to get the data with arrays. XML however will be a much wiser
choise for me for several reasons.

Some links to websites with tutorials and example will be greatly
apriciated as well as extra tips concerning the matter.

The PHP manual has some useful examples of how to use XML
functionality:

You may try this PHP class that can be used to write XML documents
without any special extensions installed:

Thanks. If anybody has more tutorials, please let me know. Sometimes one
tutorial explains things a bit easier for me then a plain manual. It
already is a good start however.

The PEAR project also has a bunch of XML extensions
http://pear/php.net

but a note, a lot of the stuff involving xml & php depend on what
version of php you are using.

In PHP 5, xml support is built in through SimpleXML, etc.
In PHP 4, support is weak or only available through non-base modules

Umm, if I'm not mistaken, isn't the XML Parser module available in PHP 4???

Which is an event-driven parser, rather than a DOM-based parser (i.e.
SimpleXML), so more flexible, and also more appropriate for large XML files?

To say that that's "weak support" is somewhat awry!
