PHP：从特定的XML节点类型获取文本数组？

Question

I am not totally new to PHP or XML but I am 100% new to paring XML with PHP. I have an XML string that has several nodes but the only ones I am insterested in are the < keyword > nodes which there are an uncertain number of each containing a phrase like so: < keyword >blue diamond jewelry< /keyword > for example say the string looked like this:

<xml>
<pointless_node/>
<seq>
<keyword>diamond ring</keyword>
<keyword>ruby necklace</keyword>
<keyword>mens watch</keyword>
</seq>
<some_node/>
</xml>

I would want an array like this:

['diamond ring','ruby necklace','mens watch']

I tried looking at the PHP manual and just get confused and not sure what to do. Can someone please walk me through how to do this? I am using PHP4.

THANKS!

This turns $keywords into an array of Objects. Is there a way to get the text from the objects?

Sure, see this.

$dom = domxml_open_mem($str);
$keywords = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname('keyword');

foreach($keywords as $keyword) {
    $text = $keyword->get_content();
    // Whatever
}
