How can PHP be used to read and parse XML files with multiple similarly named parent elements?

When dealing with XML files containing multiple similarly named parent elements, we can use PHP's SimpleXMLElement class to read and parse the XML data. By iterating through the parent elements and accessing their child elements, we can extract the necessary information from the XML file.

$xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml');

foreach ($xml->parentElement as $parent) {
    $childElement1 = $parent->childElement1;
    $childElement2 = $parent->childElement2;
    
    // Process the child elements as needed
    echo "Child Element 1: " . $childElement1 . "<br>";
    echo "Child Element 2: " . $childElement2 . "<br>";
}
