I realize this is a relatively old post (2008), but it just goes to show to power of google.

I was handling it like this:
$title = (string)$xml->title[0];

With this tweak, I can now do:
$title = (string)$xml->title;

Although the processing speed doesn’t really change, the code is cleaner. I was actually under the impression that my DTD was mistaken (as it didn’t show as multiple titles in the xml). All along it wasn’t a possibility of multiple titles after all, it was just how the CDATA was being processed.

Thanks for the tip!
