XML/php foreach loop not looping all data - php

Question

It seems my foreach is looping the correct amount of times. However it's only populating the variables with content from the first loop.
I tried it 2 ways. but firstly this is the url to the XML feed
http://wowfeeds.wipeitau.com/GuildActivity.php?location=EU&rn=shadowsong&gn=antheas&output=XML&callback=? so you can see the structure.
the php codee issss
function GetAchievements(){
$achurl = "http://wowfeeds.wipeitau.com/GuildActivity.php?location=EU&rn=shadowsong&gn=antheas&limit=100&output=XML&callback=?";
$achxml = new SimpleXMLElement($achurl);
// Achievements
foreach ($achxml->ACTIVITYLIST->ACTIVITYITEM as $ach) {
$name = $ach['NAME'];
echo $name;
//$Achievments = "<p><img src='$achimg' /> <span class='red'>$achname</span> $achtext <span class='red'>$achobj</span></p>";
//echo $Achievments;
}
}
This seems to just return a blank.
However if I alter the code # $name = $ach['NAME'] to = $name =
function GetAchievements(){
$achurl = "http://wowfeeds.wipeitau.com/GuildActivity.php?location=EU&rn=shadowsong&gn=antheas&limit=100&output=XML&callback=?";
$achxml = new SimpleXMLElement($achurl);
// Achievements
foreach ($achxml->ACTIVITYLIST->ACTIVITYITEM as $ach) {
$name = $achxml->ACTIVITYLIST->ACTIVITYITEM->NAME;
echo $name;
//$Achievments = "<p><img src='$achimg' /> <span class='red'>$achname</span> $achtext <span class='red'>$achobj</span></p>";
//echo $Achievments;
}
}
Then it simply repeats the first entry the same number of times as entries.
EG.
Name.
Name.
Name.
This been driving me mad for 2 hours now. Please help :(

simplexml object is not an array, you might need to consider like this
$url = 'http://wowfeeds.wipeitau.com/GuildActivity.php?'.
'location=EU&rn=shadowsong&gn=antheas&output=XML&callback=?';
$achxml = simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach ($achxml->ACTIVITYLIST->ACTIVITYITEM as $ach)
{
$name = (string) $ach->NAME;
echo $name, "\n";
}
output :
Ichex
Azraelka
Brechnor
Rougwar

Ziini
Ryoden
Ashlynne
