Help extracting data

[bigmike7801]

I'm trying to extract the data and place them into variables from the below xml document from the line that says day0 name="Monday" date="01/25" max="50" min="41" code="13" phrase="Showers"/>

basically I would like it to be like $name=Monday, $max=50 etc...

I'm not sure if this would be a job for preg_match or something else and if so, what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks for any help!

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

 foreach( $xml->fcst as $days ) 
   foreach( $days as $day )
     echo $day['name'] ; 

gives: MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFriday
