How can PHP5 handle data retrieval in XML format for distributing files across multiple servers?

To handle data retrieval in XML format for distributing files across multiple servers using PHP5, you can utilize the SimpleXML extension to parse XML data and the cURL extension to make HTTP requests to the servers. By fetching the XML data from each server and processing it accordingly, you can distribute files efficiently across multiple servers. 

<?php
// Array of server URLs
$servers = array('http://server1.com/data.xml', 'http://server2.com/data.xml');

foreach ($servers as $server) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $server);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    
    $xml_data = curl_exec($ch);
    
    // Parse XML data using SimpleXML
    $xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_data);
    
    // Process XML data as needed
    // For example, distribute files to different servers
    // ...
    
    curl_close($ch);
}
?>
