How to access XML response - php

Question

Good day, I want to access the XML response and echo it to display its value but I don't know how to do it. I already tried some few answers in StackOverflow but I fail.
This is my code.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once 'ruFunctions.php';
$rentalsUnited = new rentalsUnited();
$ru= $rentalsUnited->getOwners();
if($ru != null){
$data= simplexml_load_string($ru);
var_dump($data); // it will return boof(false)
var_dump($ru);
echo $data->Pull_ListAllOwners_RS->Status['ID']; //Trying to get property of non-object
}
?>
Results for var_dump($ru);
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (3) {
["Status"]=>
string(7) "Success"
["ResponseID"]=>
string(32) "44065d9888304e8cba912bce4d131ab1"
["Owners"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (1) {
["Owner"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#4 (7) {
["#attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["OwnerID"]=>
string(6) "429335"
}
["FirstName"]=>
string(5) "Test"
["SurName"]=>
string(7) "Tester"
["CompanyName"]=>
string(15) "Test Helpers"
["Email"]=>
string(23) "info#Test.com"
["Phone"]=>
string(12) "[phone]"
["UserAccountId"]=>
string(3) "602"
}
}
}

It looks like $ru is already a SimpleXMLElement, so trying to call simplexml_load_string will fail on this.
You can see some of the details by
if($ru != null){
echo $ru->Status;
}
You can (probably) list the owners by...
if($ru != null){
foreach ($ru->Owners->Owner as $owner ) {
echo "ownerId=".$owner['OwnerID'].PHP_EOL;
echo "FirstName=".$owner->FirstName.PHP_EOL;
}
}
