I need to get all the relatedLinks and list them using php simplexml. Sorry for the lack of detail, this was quick.

Xpath is also a good option if you want to select all occurrences regardless of position in tree. This cheatsheet can help make your expressions.

$xml=simplexml_load_string($x);
    
foreach($xml->xpath(".//relatedLink") as $rl){
 print_r($rl);
}

This is it: 

$xml = simplexml_load_string($x); // assume XML in $x

foreach ($xml->relatedLink as $rl) {
    echo $rl->title . PHP_EOL;
}

see it working: https://eval.in/97004

read the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php
