  description:
    This class is used to load an XML document into an associative array.
    Each element is given a unique id, and each element contains the id of 
    its parent, thereby retaining the hierarchy of the source xml document.
    The format of the array $xml_file is:

      document
        |-parent ID
          |-element ID
            |-element name
            |-attributes
            |-data

  changes:
    2002/12/13 - changed organization of array $xml_file for easier reference 
  requires:
    xpat

  API

    The following methods can be called for an object of this class:
      parse( $xml_file )
        definition: loads XML file $xml_file into associative array $xml_data
        parameters:
          $xml_file: full path to valid XML document or snippet
        returns: nothing
      getData()
        definition: returns the array $xml_data created by parse()
        returns: array $xml_data
      ifError()
        definition: returns 1 for object errors, 0 for no errors
        returns: 0 or 1
      getError()
        definition: returns an array of error data for the object
        returns array $error
      destruct() 
        definition: frees object resources
        returns: nothing
