If you feel confortable with javascript, there is another solution called DOMDocument

You can load XML files and also use function like getElementsByTagName. For example, if you have a books.xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<books>
 <book><title>Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture</title></book>
 <book><title>Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Software Design</title></book>
 <book><title>Clean Code</title></book>
</books>

You can extract titles so:

$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->load('books.xml');
$books = $dom->getElementsByTagName('title');
foreach ($books as $book) {
    echo $book->nodeValue.'<br>';
}
