I have tried simple XML but its not working, 

    function xml2Array($xmlstring)
{
    $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring, "SimpleXMLElement", LIBXML_NOCDATA);
    $json = json_encode($xml);
    return json_decode($json,TRUE);
}

$arr = xml2Array($response);
print_r($arr);

But it returns empty array please suggest with possible solution for this

As a parameter pass a XML format data and after that it converts to array.

function xml2Array($xmlstring)
{

    $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring, "SimpleXMLElement", LIBXML_NOCDATA);
    $json = json_encode($xml);
    return json_decode($json,TRUE);
}

$arr = xml2Array($response);
print_r($arr);
