There are multiple tags I need to strip out of the xml image so your
$state = example wouldn't work. Sorry, I was trying not to get too
deep.

I did read the php xml extension before I posted but I got lost.

I was hoping there was a function that would pull out the text between
an xml tag. If there is such a function in the php xml extensions I
couldn't see it ir otherwise figure it out.
