Ok, let's say we have the following XML document located at www.anothersite.com/rss.xml

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<item1>Something</item1>
<item2>Something else</item2>
<item1>Some data</item1>
</channel>
</rss>

Now I wanna syndicate some (items 1 and 3) of that information into my own site.
I have proficient PHP skills and I know that it is possible to use PHP to display data like that on a website. Can someone tell me how to?
Using PHP I wanna turn each tag in the XML file into a variable then include that on the site. All I need to know is how to get a tag from the XML document displayed on a HTML document.

To break it down let's say I wanna have a small box on my site like:
Just some info:
- Item One: Something
- Item Three: Some data
Using the data from the XML document.

Thanks.

here is part of the code I use to display various feeds from wired.com on one of my sites, this might get you started in the right direction

PHP Code:

// READ AND PARSE THE SOURCE FEED
$data = implode("", file($url));
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 1);
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);
xml_parse_into_struct($parser, $data, $values, $tags);
xml_parser_free($parser);

// ARRAYS TO STORE FEED INFO IN
$keys = array();
$titles = array();
$links = array();
$descriptions = array();

// EXTRACT DESIRED INFO AND STORE IN ARRAYS
foreach($values as $key=>$item) {
    if($item[tag] == "TITLE") {
        $titles[$key] = $item[value];
        $sub = $key;
        array_push($keys, $key);
    }
    if($item[tag] == "LINK") {
        $links[$sub] = $item[value];
    }
    if($item[tag] == "DESCRIPTION") {
        $descriptions[$sub] = $item[value];
    }
    if($item[tag] == "URL") {
        $image = $item[value];
    }
} 


With the example above, you can then display the data stored in the arrays however you want on your page

Now this is by no means the only way to parse a feed, but this was the easiest solution to implement in my case.

Here is a simplified version of the code I use to display the feed data:

PHP Code:

<?
// DISPLAY NEWS ARTICLES
for($n = 2; $n < count($keys); $n++) {
$k = $keys[$n];
echo "<a href='$links[$k]' target='_blank'><b>$titles[$k]</b></a><br>";
echo "$descriptions[$k]<br><br>";
}
?>

Thanks man.
Finally after crawling around the net for a few weeks looking for an answer I found one.
This is way easier with Perl I don't know why it's not too common with PHP.

Because PERL can do anything.

Did you get this to show only the criteria you want? If so can you post what you did.

Right now Im working on a reconstruction of my site's code along with some major enhancements such as a new color scheme and new typography.
I was hoping to get started sooner but unfortuanately it will take some time. It's going to be a weather system using a feed from weather.com. My first priority is to enhance a set of weather icons I already have then move on to the coding part.
