I'm writing a MSSQL to MySQL Migration Utility, I'm using *Config* to manage the configuration, I want it to read from an XML file. The sturcutre is provided below. Now I want to be able to loop over 'databases' & 'tables'. What's the best way to do this, I'd rather stay away from arrays, is there a DOM access like way to get the objects. And is there a better way to structure my XML?

You can access config containers in a dom-like fashion. This article at devshed: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Configuration-Manipulation-With-PHP-Config/5/ would probably be a great place to start. Of course, let me know if you have any more questions. -ryan
