Answer 1

You can try this:

$scrape_xml = "files.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($scrape_xml);

$group = array();

foreach ($xml->Item as $file)
{
    $platform = stripslashes($file->Platform);
    $name = stripslashes($file->Name);
    $title = stripslashes($file->Title);
    $downloadPath = stripslashes($file->DownloadPath);

    if(!isset($group[$platform]))
    {
        $group[$platform] = array();
        $group[$platform][] = array("Name" => $name,"Title" => $title, "Files" => array($downloadPath));
    }
    else
    {
        $found = false;

        for($i=0;$i $name,"Title" => $title, "Files" => array($downloadPath));
        }
    }
}

echo "
".print_r($group,true)."
";
