This is my xml and I want to parse whole xml, I tried with the below code

print_r($xml);

but its return empty object.

SimpleXMLElement Object ( )

I tried with children xml parsing but same result. I followed this link too but no success

You can use this :

$xml_data = str_replace("ns2:","",$xml_data);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_data);
print_r($xml);
