simplexml_load_file() is really a good start for this. note here, $xml is not an array. if you want to save more records in your database, use it in a proper way. print_r($xml) will help you to get the better structure .

Simple XML is good if you need a DOM interface to the XML, but if you need something quick just to go from XML into an associative array there's a great utility script that's super simple online:

I've only used it for internal xml files, so its worth a security audit if you're using external xml

Try this:

<?php
  $xml=simplexml_load_file('http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scorestrip/ss.xml');
  print_r($xml);
?>
