You need to parse the data from xml to php.

You can parse the data to parse check the following link:

Xml to php array

Or you can try this code:

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");

echo $xml->getName() . "<br />";

foreach($xml->children() as $child)
  {
  echo $child->getName() . ": " . $child . "<br />";
  }
?>

this will parse the data into php.
