打開XML文件並獲取特定內容？

Question

我有以下網址：

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/Birkdale,_Queensland

我想下面出來的：

pop  = 13,460 (2006 census) 
lga  = Redland City 
dist1 = 44 
near-nw = [[Thorneside, Queensland|Thorneside]] 
| near-n = 
| near-ne = [[Wellington Point, Queensland|Wellington Point]] 
| near-w = [[Ransome, Queensland|Ransome]] 
| near-e = [[Wellington Point, Queensland|Wellington Point]] 
| near-sw = [[Capalaba West, Queensland|Capalaba West]] 
| near-s = [[Capalaba, Queensland|Capalaba]] 
| near-se = [[Alexandra Hills, Queensland|Alexandra Hills]] 

我想他們回來作爲變量，例如：

$pop = "13,460 (2006 census)"; 
$lga = "Redland City"; 
$distance = 44; 
$nearnw = "Thorneside"; 
$nearn = ""; 
$nearne = "Wellington Point"; 
$nearw = "Ransome"; 
$neare = "Wellington Point"; 
$nearsw = "Capalaba West"; 
$nears = "Capalaba"; 
$nearse = "Alexandra Hills"; 

我該如何解決從這個XML文件中提取信息並將它們放入上面解釋過的變量中？

謝謝。

你嘗試使用simplexml

$url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/Birkdale,_Queensland"; 

$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
