I have used the following code to grab the values

<?php
strings = file_get_contents("feed.xml");
$xml=simplexml_load_string($strings);

foreach ($xml as $place)
{
echo "Total : ".$place->TOTALOFOUND->TOTAL."<br />";
echo "address: ".$place->PLACE->ADDRESS."<br />";
echo "Name : ".$place->PLACE->NAME."<br />";
echo "post code: ".$place->PLACE->POSTCODE."<br />";
echo "Small image: ".$place->PLACE->CATIM->SMALL."<br />";
echo "Medium Image: ".$place->PLACE->CATIM->MEDIUM."<br />";
echo "Descripton: ".$place->PLACE->CATIM->DESCRIPTION."<br />";
echo "Office ID: ".$place->PLACE->ID."<br />";
echo "Cord Lat: ".$place->PLACE->DIST->LAT."<br />";
echo "Cord Long: ".$place->PLACE->DIST->LONG."<br />"."<br />";
}
?>

the problem is that although i have 3 records in the xml it shows only the first results. and at the beginning it gives the below error. Can some one please help me

post code:

You have to look at the structure of the XML more closely and access the nodes in the appropriate way base on their hierarchy.

echo "Total : ".$xml->FOUND->TOTALOFOUND->TOTAL."<br />";
foreach ( $xml->FOUND->PLACE as $place )
{
  echo "address: ".$place->ADDRESS."<br />";
  echo "Name : ".$place->NAME."<br />";
  echo "post code: ".$place->POSTCODE."<br />";
  echo "Small image: ".$place->CATIM->SMALL."<br />";
  echo "Medium Image: ".$place->CATIM->MEDIUM."<br />";
  echo "Descripton: ".$place->CATIM->DESCRIPTION."<br />";
  echo "Office ID: ".$place->ID."<br />";
  echo "Cord Lat: ".$place->DIST->LAT."<br />";
  echo "Cord Long: ".$place->DIST->LONG."<br />"."<br />";
}
