In this tutorial we’ll see how to parse XML and read its content one by one, we’ll also gonna see how to send an XML to Server-side using AJAX.

So, XML is derived from SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) and it was developed back in 1970.

Let’s define out XML into a separate file and then access that XML into a separate file using PHP function and we will what different options are, to convert it into an array- To get data from the XML file in PHP, we can use above simple example.Now, first, we have converted our XML file data into a string using file_get_contents() and that string is passed to simplexml_load_string() which is PHP function to interprets a string of XML into an object.

This is the easiest way to convert XML to an array because it will directly convert XML into an array without a need of converting into a JSON string and then using json_decode() to convert it into an array.
