This is not an option for me... I'm writing a CMS and want to be able to
do things for other users without specific compile options.

This may not be what you are looking for, but the DOMXML object since PHP
4.0 works great --- you do have to compile PHP using the --with-dom
For example... If i am dealing with the following structure...
<contacts>
<contact>
<name>Russ</name>
<phone>919.919.1919</phone>
</contact>
<contact>
<name>Other</name>
<phone>912.932.9328</phone>
</contact>
</contacts>
and the name of this xml file is contacts.xml
I would do the following...
$xmlDoc = domxml_open_file('xml/contacts.xml');
$root = $xmlDoc->document_element();
$contacts = $root->children();
// this new $contacts file is an array of the xml tree. For example, to
call up the first set of contact info, the info for russ, just use
$contacts[0]
// but there is more. say you want to learn about this contacts[0] node,
such as pull the name russ. First, you have to get all the chirlden of
this node... so you can do...
$node_to_work_with = $contacts[0]->children();
// now this $node_to_work_with is an array with all the children,
including the name, phone, etc. built in + information about these
children. for example...
echo $node_to_work_with[0]->get_content();
// that would print Russ
echo $node_to_work_with[1]->get_content();
// that would print the Phone Number
echo $node_to_work_with[0]->name();
// that would print "Name" as in the name of the node, which
coincidentally happens to be name...
