parse XML from curl POST response

I am posting an XML file to a server using curl. Everthing works perfectly but I am not sure how to handle the response best way. I would like to parse it with simpleXML. With this request:

$ch = curl_init(); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $XPost);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$data = curl_exec($ch); 

if(curl_errno($ch))
print curl_error($ch);
else
print_r($data);
curl_close($ch);

I am getting this as response-string (browser source view)

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    <currency>USD</currency>
  </request>
  <response>
    <responseCode>01</responseCode>
    <responseMessage>Authorized</responseMessage>
  </response>
</transaction>

How do I correctly parse $data with simpleXML.I mean getting rid of the header part?

If you don't need the header, set CURLOPT_HEADER to false.
