SimpleXML-Load Child-trying to get property - php

Question

I've got the following problem and I can't find my mistake probably?
I try load the following XML(Over 15k Lines) Structure:
<Config>
<SystemFiles>
<Core>
<Info>
<Network>
<Capture>
<Store>
<Mount01>
<Mount02>
</Store>
</Core>
</Config>
I need access to the Substructure of Store with each Child of it. My function looks like:
public static function get_storage_data()
{
if(file_exists('/var/www/content/data/data.xml')) :
$xml = simplexml_load_file('/var/www/content/data/data.xml');
foreach ($xml->Config->Core->Store->children() as $mount) {
echo $mount;
}
else:
write_log(sprintf("data.xml not found"));
endif;
}
Which generates the following errors (Line 8 is the foreach line):
Notice
: Trying to get property 'Store' of non-object in
/var/www/inc/storage.inc
on line
8
Fatal error
: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function children() on null in /var/www/inc/storage.inc:8 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/storage.php(30): Storage::get_storage_data() #1 {main} thrown in
/var/www/inc/storage.inc
on line
8
What did I forget here or what is my mistake? Thanks!

You don't need to include the root node name when using SimpleXML to parse XML - it's already anchored at that level.
You should just be able to change the path from
$xml->Config->Core->Store->children()
to
$xml->Core->Store->children()
Note: I'm assuming that your <Mount01> and <Mount02> nodes just contain text content, since you won't be able to echo them otherwise.
See here for a worked example: https://eval.in/1006543
