    Dunno if this will be any help for you:

    http://ie.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php

    The PHP manual is tough to get your teeth into until you get used to how it's written.

    PHP has some inbuilt XML functions, this should be a doddle, but I haven't done any XML stuff myself, sorry.

    Not 100% what you're looking for because it is more specific to RSS, rather than XML generally, but this should be pretty useful.
