I have used the following Kirupa article to help me parse an XML file and display it using PHP.

[http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml\_php\_parse\_…](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../web/xml_php_parse_intermediate.htm)

I have used this method a number of times, and it works great. However, I have now come to a situation where I need to add a third child node, and display it, but I just can’t seem to get the right syntax.

I would like to use this same general template, as I have become used to and like it. If someone could just tell me what changes I would need to make, and what I need to add for a third child node, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
