Example 1. Interpret an XML string
<?php

<?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);
var_dump($xml);
?>
|
This script will display:

(
[title] => Forty What?
