Ok, I have a feed that I need to get the data from. The file is an
html file that contains items. I need to step through the file,
getting the first item, doing whatever, then the second item, and so
on. Any thoughts on the best way to to this?

<Feed>
<Item>
<ID>Data I need</ID>
<Title>Data I need</Title>
</Item>
<Item>
<ID>Data I need</ID>
<Title>Data I need</Title>
</Item>
</Feed>

look into http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/

or data mining

google: php data mining
or google: html data scraping

the idea is you grab the data from a web site
trim out the top/bottom parts so you are left with what you need
then parse through the remaning using tag identifiers and pass into an array
then use that array as needed
