Dear Sir,  
I am priyan from Netherlands,  
I am referring your site to do my assignment in XML.  
Actually i am doing a Querying in XML Database and i have to use PHP for the Querying interface,  
I wanted to get some hints or help from you to do this task.  
i am going to cite your site for my assignment which might help my peer reviewers to follow you site in future too.  
I have my xml file with data. now i am using _[SIZE=4]PHP SimpleXML.  
I have the code only to get the file and read and place it on the interface.  
but i need to do more on it…  
[/SIZE]_**[SIZE=4][/SIZE]** I could not continue with this, because i did not still get into the topic how i can do this with PHP.  
If you could give me a simple example of "how to do a Xpath/Xquery with Xml data with PHP interface. Example,  
“selecting the names of the customers from my xml file” ; the user going to select/write a query on the interface that results the answer on the new/same interface.

I need it in urgent!
