Hi, Given an xml structure like this

<gesmes:Envelope>
<gesmes:subject>Reference rates</gesmes:subject>
<gesmes:Sender>
<gesmes:name>European Central Bank</gesmes:name>
</gesmes:Sender>
<Cube>
<Cube time="2010-03-26">
<Cube currency="USD" rate="1.3353"/>
<Cube currency="JPY" rate="124.00"/>
<Cube currency="BGN" rate="1.9558"/>
<Cube currency="CZK" rate="25.418"/>
...
...
</Cube>
</Cube>
</gesmes:Envelope>

how can i go about getting the values stored in to a hashmap or similar structure in php?

Have been trying to do this for the last few hours now but cant manage it :D

It is homework so i guess no full solutuins please( tho the actual assignment is to use the web services, i am just stuck with parsing it :D ). Maybe someone could show me a brief example for a made up xml file that i could apply to mine?

Thanks
