How to get the xml data in the form of array using php

Question

I want to get the values of the XML below, which has time sheet details like XConsultant, personid, TimeSheet.WeekEnd , TimeRecord.WeekEnd and so on. I had tried with:

$fileData = simplexml_load_file($fileName);//where file name is the destination of my file url ..

When I am trying to load and print the array, it's only printing the timesheet details. I want to access the personid and [TimeSheet].[WeekEnd]

                )
        )
)

I used foreach and associative array key condition also, but I am unable to fetch the records. Where is <ConsultantTime>? I have many consult time data where I need to have foreach loop </ConsultantTime>. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This code here will parse the XML in $input. Substitute $input for whatever variable currently holds your XML

<?php
$input = "<TimeSheets><TimePeriod><Start weekdayStart=\"Monday\" xmlns=\"\">10/29/2018</Start><End weekdayEnd=\"Sunday\" xmlns=\"\">11/04/2018</End><StatementDate weekdayStatement=\"Wednesday\" xmlns=\"\">11/07/2018</StatementDate><LastRunDate weekdayLastRun=\"Saturday\" xmlns=\"\">12/28/2018</LastRunDate><SystemDate xmlns=\"\">11/07/2018 00:51:43</SystemDate></TimePeriod><Client organization=\"abc\">abc</Client><Supplier organization=\"fsdf, Inc.\" name=\"fsdf, Inc.\">fsdf, Inc.

//Create an XML parser object
$p = xml_parser_create();

//An array to put the data into
$data = array();

//Parse the XML into the data array
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $input, $data);

//Show the data array
echo "<pre>" . print_r( $data, 1 ) . "</pre>";

Running that code will give you the XML in a structured array, you will be able to process it in a for loop.
