 Any thoughts ?

Use simple XML?

Or is the file really too huge for that to be feasible?  Have you
actually tried it?...

As a while guess, I'd suggest that maybe $reader-read() will return
the next sub-nodes, and you'd do the same thing you're doing now to
read the tires...  But I've never used XMLReader, and hope I never
have to.

[PHP] Reading sub-elements using XML Reader

[Don Don]

I am reading the following xml data in a very large file using XML reader, the 
xml structure looks like the xample given below

item
enginehead/engine
braketail/brake
tireshead/tires
chromespart head 1/chromes
chromesPart head 2/chromes
seatstail/seats
/item
item
enginehead/engine
braketail/brake
tireshead/tires
chromespart head 1/chromes
chromesPart head 2/chromes
seatstail/seats
/item

I can read all elements apart from the sub elements under tires and am kind 
of looking for a way to read these sub elements.  I am using the code structure 
below

$reader = new XMLReader();
$reader-open($feedUrl);

while($reader-read())
{

switch($reader-nodeType)
{
case(XMLREADER::ELEMENT):

if($reader-localName == engine)
{
echo $reader-value;
}
if($reader-localName == brake)
{
echo $reader-value;
}
if($reader-localName == tires)
{
echo $reader-value;
//I FIGURE OUT THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THE SUB ELEMENTS HERE 
BUT TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
}
}
}


Any thoughts ?
