<?php
// Initialize the XML parser
$parser = xml_parser_create();
// Function to use at the start of an element

    case "NOTE":
      echo "-- Note --<br />";
      break;
    case "TO":

{
  echo "<br />";
}
// Function to use when finding character data

{
  echo $data;
}
// Specify element handler
xml_set_element_handler($parser, "start", "stop");
// Specify data handler
xml_set_character_data_handler($parser, "char");
// Open XML file
// $fp = fopen("test.xml", "r");
// Read data
// while ($data = fread($fp, 10)) {
// xml_parse($parser, $data, feof($fp)) or die(sprintf("XML Error: %s at line %d", xml_error_string(
xml_get_error_code($parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($parser)));
