here's my php code:
<div class="nav">
    <ul>
        <?php
                $xml = simplexml_load_file('post.xml');
                //print_r($xml);
                foreach($xml->item as $key=>$item )
                {
                    echo <<<HTML
                    <li>
                    <div class="published">
                        <span class="day">13</span>
                        Sep 2010
                    </div>
                    <div class="summary">
                    <a href="#slide-$key">
                            <h3>$item->title</h3>
                    </a>
                    </div>
                    </li>
HTML;
                }
            ?>
        </ul>
    </div>
after php render the page,the <a href="#slide-$key"> return <a href=#slide-item>.
I want $key get the number of which , 
so how to get ?
This is because simpleXML structures are not normal arrays but iterators who do not have an array index.
I don't know of any other solution than keeping track manually using a variable:
 $index = 0;
 $xml = simplexml_load_file('post.xml');
 foreach($xml->item as $item )
   {
       ....
       $index++;
    }
                        You could use SimpleXMLElement::xpath to return an array of the <item> elements, then access the array's keys as you want.
foreach ($xml->xpath('/items/item') as $key => $item)
