I need to extract the member id , name, email and DateRegistration but as you can see the xml is not very well formatted . I tried with simple xml which obviously doesn’t work but nether regex doesn’t seem to work . Here is the pattern that I tried :

$pattern = "/<Name><\\!\\[CDATA\\[(.*)\\]\\]><\/Name>/";
preg_match_all($pattern, $xml_content, $matches);
$name = $matches[1][0][v];
echo " name is $name ";

    $x='<file src="136090000-136100000">
      <usafisMember id="136090000">
            <Name>
                  <![CDATA[DOSEKUN DANIEL ADETUNJI]]>
                  </Name>
            <Email>
                  <![CDATA[[e-mail]]]>
                  </Email>
            <DateRegistration>
                  <![CDATA[10/19/2010 8:46:57 PM]]>
                  </DateRegistration>
      </usafisMember>
      <usafisMember id="136090001">
            <Name>
                  <![CDATA[yoleida colina]]>
                  </Name>
            <Email>
                  <![CDATA[[e-mail]]]>
                  </Email>
            <DateRegistration>
                  <![CDATA[10/19/2010 8:47:08 PM]]>
                  </DateRegistration>
      </usafisMember>
      <usafisMember id="136090002">
            <Name>
                  <![CDATA[Homero Valdovinos]]>
                  </Name>
            <Email>
                  <![CDATA[[e-mail]]]>
                  </Email>
            <DateRegistration>
                  <![CDATA[10/19/2010 8:47:01 PM]]>
                  </DateRegistration>
      </usafisMember>
        </file>
    ';

    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($x);



foreach ($xml->usafisMember as $usafisMember){
echo 'Name: '. $usafisMember->Name.'<br>';
}

had to add close file but other wise worked as expected
