and php code far is:

<?php $source = "data2.xml"; $xmlstr = file_get_contents($source); $parsexmlfile = new simplexmlelement($xmlstr); echo $parsexmlfile->id[0]; echo "<br>"; echo $parsexmlfile->title[0]; echo "<br>"; echo $parsexmlfile->content[0]; ?>

basically recommends using xpath call, eg.

$xml = new simplexmlelement($r);  foreach($xml->xpath('//event:event') $event) {     var_export($event->xpath('event:sessionkey')); }
