I have pasted the example of what I need here : http://pastie.org/1005178

I have a xml file with say the following info

<state>
<info>
<name>hello</name>
<zip>51678</zip>
</info>
<info>
<name>world</name>
<zip>54678</zip>
</info>
</state>

Now I need to create a new xml file which has the following

<state>
<info>
<name>hello</name>
<zip>51678</zip>
<lat>17.89</lat>
<lon>78.90</lon>
</info>
<info>
<name>world</name>
<zip>54678</zip>
<lat>16.89</lat>
<lon>83.45</lon>
</info>
</state>

So, basically I need to add lat and lon nodes to each info element. these lat and lon correspond to the zip code which are stored in a mysql file which contains 3 fields - pin, lat and lon

How do i do this recursively. I have say 1000 info elements in a file

Please give me a sample code because I have already tried using simplexml and read the documentation but doesn't see to understand it properly
