Answer 1

Start ur session in first doc.
<?php
session_start();
$xml = simplexml_load_file("note.xml") or die("Error: Cannot create object");
foreach($xml->xpath('//agent') as $item) {
$row = simplexml_load_string($item->asXML());
$v = $row->xpath('//id[. ="1"]');
if($v[0]){
print $item->id;
print $item->image;
print $item->name;
print $item->company;
print $item->street;
print $item->city;
print $item->phone;
}
else{
echo 'No records';
}
$name = $_session['name'][$item->name]; // dont quote ''
?>

your session code is not valid, you may try this one ;
$name = $_session['name'][$item->name];
