How can PHP be used to extract specific values from an XML file, such as subfields with specific tags?

To extract specific values from an XML file using PHP, you can use the SimpleXMLElement class to parse the XML data and then navigate through the elements to locate the desired values based on their tags. You can use methods like ->xpath() or ->children() to access subfields with specific tags and extract their values. 

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

// Extract specific values by navigating through the XML structure
$specificValues = $xml->xpath('//tag1/tag2/tag3');

foreach ($specificValues as $value) {
    echo $value . "\n";
}
