Hi Terry,
look at the PHP.NET documentation. There indicates the use of 
simpleXMLElement structures. If you want to extract elements from this 
object, please read there how this work. By the way, it would be 
interesting to see, how your XML is made. May be is usefull to use 
another class like DOM.
