php count xml elements

I have got this code:

$string = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?> 
<document>
 <title>Forty What?</title>
 <from>Joe</from>
 <to>Jane</to>
 <body>
  I know that's the answer -- but what's the question?
 </body>
</document>
XML;

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
$data_count = count($data->xml);
print_r($data_count);

I run this code on line Demo

when I perform print_r($data_count); the resualt is “0” instead 10(rows in the string);

what should I do to contain the numbers of the raw in the varible $data_count ?
many thx.

    Try this

    $string = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?> 
<document>
 <title>Forty What?</title>
 <from>Joe</from>
 <to>Jane</to>
 <body>
  I know that's the answer -- but what's the question?
 </body>
</document>
XML;

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string); 
$data_count = count($xml);//here you need to give the parser object
print_r($data_count);
echo count($xml->title); //No of title tags
