Hi,

To parse that XML, you would want to do something like:

<?php

$xml = "<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>" .
"<movies><movie>A</movie><movie>B</movie></movies>";

$el = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

echo $el->movie[0];

?>

You wouldn't want to call simplexml_load_file directly on a PHP source
file, only valid XML output...
