ReadXml($xmlstr) 

Output ->

Address

to: Srinivas

from: Chennai

country : India

Answer 1

With SimpleXML

$address = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
printf("%s\nto: %s\nfrom: %s\ncountry: %s",
       $address->getName(),
       $address->to, 
       $address->from, 
       $address->country);

or

$address = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
echo $address->getName(), PHP_EOL;
foreach($address as $name => $part) {
    echo "$name: $part", PHP_EOL;
}

Both output:

Address
to: Sriniva
from: Chennai
country: India

Just fix the closing country tag. It has a typo and is missing the r.
