Converting XML file elements into a PHP array

I'm trying to convert a Steam group members list XML file into an array by using Php. The XML file is: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/starhawk/memberslistxml/?xml=1.xml

The elements are the member's steam IDs, such as 76561198000264284

How can I go about doing this?

Edit: So far I've used something like this: 

$array = json_decode(json_encode((array)simplexml_load_string($xml)),1);

It outputs the first few elements, not ones specifically from

Solution

  • This should return the fully accessible array:

    $get = file_get_contents('http://steamcommunity.com/groups/starhawk/memberslistxml/?xml=1.xml');
$arr = simplexml_load_string($get);
print_r($arr);

    You can now access items like this:

    echo $arr->groupID64;
echo $arr->members->steamID64;

    Edit: To parse the streamID, you can do a for loop

    $ids = $arr->members->steamID64;
foreach($ids as $id) {
    echo $id;
}
