I think that SimpleXML would be more convenient for your task. Below
you have sample code:

<?php
$xml = "<test>".
"<entry><title>Test1</title><link>www.test1.org</link></entry>".
"<entry><title>Test2</title><link>www.test2.org</link></entry>".
"</test>";

$xmlTable = simplexml_load_string($xml); //Use
simplexml_load_file($filename) for file loading

for ($i = 0; $i < count($xmlTable->entry); $i++){
echo '<p><a href="'.$xmlTable->entry[$i]->link.'">'.$xmlTable-
>entry[$i]->title.'</a></p>';
}
?>
