You can read the conversion rate like this:

<?php   

$x = simplexml_load_file('http://www.tcmb.gov.tr/kurlar/today.xml');

// Use GBP as an example
$code = 'GBP';

$nodes = $x->xpath('//Currency[@CurrencyCode="' . $code . '"]');

echo 'Buying Rate for ' . $code . 'is ' . (string)$nodes[0]->BanknoteBuying;
