Try using simplexml_load_file function. I have always found success in using this whenever you are dealing with xml files.

If you want a list of the ids, you should stick to using SimpleXML...

$xmlfile = simplexml_load_file("data.xml");

foreach ( $xmlfile->smarza as $data )   {
    echo $data->id.PHP_EOL;
}

This loads the file using simplexml_load_file() and then loops in the foreach() it goes over each <smarza> element (using $xmlfile->smarza). The access the <id> element using $data->id.
