Topic awaiting preservation: Regular Expressions, strip out code [php]

Hi,
let's say i have xml file containing the following informations:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!-- Another Name -->

<person>

<name>Any Name</name>

<phone>65231546</phone>

<zip>64546</zip>

<mobile>634431561</mobile>

</person>

I have read the file into the variable $file.
Now i want to get the name ("Any Name") into another string. How can i do this?

Btw: it is not possible to use the XSLT functions.

Thanks.

preg_match("/<name>(.*)<\/name>/",$file,$matches);

This returns an array of all matches.

The XSLT functions are not what you want to use for parsing XML files. You need to look at the XML parser functions.,
