Ideal way to work with Solr leads to PHP?

Question

Firslty, I know some similar questions according to this, but I think that this situation is different enough to justify my own question.

I am running the Solr index using a berth installation on the LAMP server. I am currently using a function simplexml_load_fileto enter search results and then parse them through a couple of functions. I was pleased with this process until I began to run into a fundamental problem.

Field names are not passed through the simplexml function. For example, this result;

<doc>
  <float name="score">0.73325396</float>
  <str name="add1">Ravensbridge Drive</str>
  <str name="comments">0</str>
  <str name="company">Stratstone Lotus Leicester</str>
  <str name="feed_id"/>
  <str name="id">1711765</str>
  <str name="pcode">LE4 0BX</str>
  <str name="psearch">LE4</str>
  <str name="rating">0</str>
</doc>

It will look like this in a simplexml object;

 [doc] => Array
 (
   [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
   (
     [float] => 0.73325396
     [str] => Array
     (
       [0] => Ravensbridge Drive
       [1] => 0
       [2] => Stratstone Lotus Leicester
       [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object
       (
         [@attributes] => Array
         (
           [name] => feed_id
         )
       )
       [4] => 1711765
       [5] => LE4 0BX
       [6] => LE4
       [7] => 0
     )
   )

When a complete data set is found, 11 bits of data are stored in the array, but when some of them are missing, the data moves and my parser breaks up.
