Try this

<? php $xml = simplexml_load_file("path/to/your/file/file.xml"); ?>

Convert your object into array like this

$array= (array) $xml;

after that you can do this

$option = $array['OptionName'];

Take a look at simplexml_load_file and turn your xml into a workable object where you can loop through and find whichever properties you need.

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

foreach($xml->ParkingData as $k => $v)
echo $v->ParkingFacility->ParkingName ." - Vacant Spaces: ". $v->ParkingFacility->VacantSpaces."<br />";
