XML : Parsing XLM with PHP

I have an XML product feed that I am parsing with PHP to load products into a database.

I need to get each element into an array of $products = array() such as:

  $products[AttributeID] = value    

This is what I have so far:

I am using simplexml and I have got most of it:

      $xml = simplexml_load_file($CatalogFileName) or die("can't open file " . $CatalogFileName);        foreach($xml->children() as $products) {           foreach($products->children() as $product) {              $new_product = array();              $new_product[sku] = "AS-" . $product->Name;              foreach($product->Values->Value as $node) {                   $node_name = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $node[AttributeID]);                  $new_product[$node_name] = $node[0];  **<--THIS IS NOT WORKING: $node[0] returns an array I only want the data in each attribute.**              }              foreach($product->AssetCrossReference as $node) {                   $new_product[image] = "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/images/items/fullsize/" . $node[AssetID] . ".jpg";              }              print_r($new_product);           }      }    

Here is an image of one product node: XML

Can someone provide me with a little help here? I do a lot of PHP programming but this is the first time I am dealing with XML
