PHP XML Fun, 2006 Style

I have been longing for XML parsing tools that are just as convenient as their regular expression counterparts. I’ve had a few XML processing tasks to work on the last couple of months. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the newest XML functions available in PHP5. The SimpleXML extension is indeed, simple; and it works too (though i did find a bug…which was reported). The DOM tools are okay, but feel so clunky. The unfortunate thing is that i’m probably six months out from being able to go PHP5 everywhere…
