Using PHP to Parse complex XML

Question

I need to parse a big XML file, to import some information in to a db, but I'm having troubles accessing all the data inside the XML.

My XML file is something like this:

If I do this:

print_r($xml);

I obtain something like:

For every record I'd like to access to the name attribute of card tag, and to the name tag below (italian traslation).

To access the name attribute I can use:

echo (string)$xml->card[0]->attributes()->name;

That Works, but I can't find a way to access to the translated name.

For Example, for the first element I have:

echo (string)$xml->card[0]->attributes()->name;

that return

A Display of My Dark Power

But I can't find the way to get the "Uno Sfoggio del Mio Potere Oscuro" Value.

I think you can access the translation like this:

echo (string)$xml->card[0]->set->name

I think I must sleep more than 2hr per night... Thanks a lot man :)

You are welcome. Next time, just leave the script alone for two hours and do something completely different :)
