I want to be able to read values in , , , and even .

But this is what i have

$xml = simplexml_load_file($filename);
foreach($xml as $value){
    echo $value->Payment->Amount;
    ......
}

These do not return any value. Can someone please, help?

Please read through your question yourself. Your formatting is not working, you have an issue with the display of the xml elements in the middle of your question. — arkascha

I hope the values in the xml are not real ones... because some people could find them interesting — Apolo

Your forgot the "Payments" tag :

$xml = simplexml_load_file($filename);
foreach($xml->Payments->Payment as $value){
    echo $value->Amount;
    ......
}

You can find other examples at PHP.net

Example with foreach
