How to extract variable from http_get response

Question

I have successfully completed an HTTP GET request using PHP and cURL. How do I extract a variable from the response?

Here is the response I am receiving:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string xmlns="http://ws.example.com/resumes/">
  <Packet>
    <Errors />
    <SessionToken>1234567890</SessionToken>
  </Packet>
</string>

I need to extract the "1234567890" and set it as a PHP the $sessionid variable.

How can I do this?

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
echo $xml->Packet->SessionToken;
