You may want to have a look at Php.Xpath. 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxpath/

Much simpler than trying to use the XML parser API embedded in PHP
directly.  I use phpxpath to parse XML capabilities in a WMS client
application that we're building with MapServer.

If you're not familiar with the XPath syntax, the following tutorial
will teach you the basics in 15 minutes (really!):

That would explain why Windows and Perl don't go along very well!  ;-)
