print a table on php from data retrieved from xml - php

Question

I am trying to print a table with the list of customer oder from data retrieved from an xml file. I think my attempt at retrieving data has failed as it did not show anything. I also wanted to add two buttoms at the end of each order (delet and edit):
<?php
// Loading the XML file
$xml = simplexml_load_file("database/orderlist.xml");
echo "
<div style='overflow-x:auto;'>
<table id='order'>
<tr>
<th>Order #</th>
<th>Customer ID# </th>
<th>Items</th>
<th>Total Prices (CND)</th>
</tr>
foreach($xml->children() as $ftpxml)
{
echo '<td>".$ftpxml->attributes()->id."</td>';
echo '<td> ".$ftpxml->attributes()->customerID." </td>';
echo '<td>".$ftpxml->attributes()->products." </td>';
echo '<td>".$ftpxml->attributes()->totalprice." </td>';
echo '<a href="backStoreOrderProfile.html" ><button class="btn Edit" id="btn" input value="Check" type=submit > Edit </button></a>';
echo '<button class="btn Delete" id="btn" input value="Check" type=submit > Delete</button></td>';
}
</table>
</div>
";
?>

You have a number of problems in your codes
make sure you end each php statement by a semi-colon
make sure you enclose the string in same quotation marks
make sure you traverse the XML hierarchy properly
<?php
// Loading the XML file
$xml = simplexml_load_file("database/orderlist.xml");
echo "
<div style='overflow-x:auto;'>
<table border=1 cellpadding=5 id='order' style='border-collapse: collapse;' bordercolor='#DDDDDD'>
<tr>
<th>Order #</th>
<th>Customer ID# </th>
<th>Items</th>
<th>Total Prices (CND)</th>
<th>Edit
<th>Delete
</tr>";
foreach ($xml->oder as $ftpxml) {
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $ftpxml->id; ?>
<td><?php echo $ftpxml->customerID; ?>
<td>
<?php
foreach ($ftpxml->products->product as $ftpxml2) {
echo $ftpxml2->productName . " ";
} ?>
<td>
<?php echo $ftpxml->totalprice; ?>
<?php
echo '<td><a href="backStoreOrderProfile.html" ><button class="btn Edit" id="btn" input value="Check" type=submit > Edit </button></a>';
echo '<td><button class="btn Delete" id="btn" input value="Check" type=submit > Delete</button></td>';
?>
<?php
} ?>
