Have you tried searching the net for it?
http://www.google.com/search?q=manue...xml+parser+PHP
Writing an XML parser is pretty easy. I don't have the book, but if you want to describe the way in which Manuel's parser is used, I can pretty easily write a replacement for it that does the same thing.
That is, if you can't find a suitable replacement from the search above...
Take care,
Nik
