trouble parsing an XML document

Hello,
I'm trying to parse a XML doc, but the doc has some tags like:
<REG-ORIG>

so when I try to initialize variables:

class Documenti {
var $FILE; //nomefile
var $NUMERO; //numerodiserie
var ${'REG-ORIG'}; // here is the broblem
function Documenti($aa) {
foreach ($aa as $k=>$v)
$this->$k = $aa[$k];
}

i have an error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '$', expecting T_VARIABLE...

I tryed changing the $ position:
var {$'REG-ORIG'}; // here is the broblem

does not change anything:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{', expecting T_VARIABLE...

thanks for any suggestion,
Alfredo (Italy)

doesn't look like a xml parser problem. I haven't tried your code but i
think the error is $this->$k

no, why not a variable method depending on $k?

take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.php:
"A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by
any number of letters, numbers, or underscores."
so, a minus isn't allowed in varnames!
