read xml file using php

most of the time we need to fetch records from xml file, so we use a php function
The simplexml_load_file() function which helps to converts the specified XML file into
a SimpleXMLElement object.
Syntax

simplexml_load_file(file,classname,options,ns,is_prefix);

here we have xml file which is named as sitemap.xml, we fetch  all dates from sitemap using simplexml_load_file() function.

fetch.php
in fetch.php file we fetch all records from sitemap.xml file.

<?php
$xml = simple_load_file('sitemap.xml');
foreach($xml->children() as $data)
{
echo $data->to."<br>";
echo $data->from."<br>";
echo $data->heading."<br>";
echo $data->body."<br>";
}
?>
