My xpath/php output needs to show the tags

Question

I'm trying to get an xpath xpression that will remove my outer tag, but it's removing that, plus the inner tag and printing the element data. How do I get it to print my prompt tags also? Hope someone knows...

My php looks like this:

<?php
#get file
$xml = simplexml_load_file('content.xml') or die ("Unable to load XML string!");

#loop through results
foreach ( $xml->xpath('//prompt') as $voiceQ) {
  echo "<h2>Thank you for visiting our site2</h2>";
  print $voiceQ;
} //for
?>

My content.xml looks like this
(I'm writing to this file and it's losing some formatting. I don't think this is the problem):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result>
    <prompt>
        Welcome to Group Finder, Mary Lamb . We see that
        you  like the group:   JackJohnson
    </prompt>
</result>

My output looks like this:
Welcome to Group Finder, Mary Lamb . We see that you like the group: JackJohnson

But I want it to look like this:
(just remove result tags):

<prompt>Welcome to Group Finder, Mary Lamb . We see that you  like the group: JackJohnson</prompt>

Answer 1

Try the asXML method on SimpleXMLElement:

<?php
$string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><result>
<prompt>Welcome to Group Finder, Mary Lamb . We see that you  like the group:   JackJohnson</prompt></result>';

#get file
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($string);

#loop through results
foreach ( $xml->xpath('//prompt') as $voiceQ) {
  echo "<h2>Thank you for visiting our site2</h2>";
  print $voiceQ->asXML();
} //for
?>

Answer 2

if result is within prompt just loop a little bit more :)

  <php?
    #get file
    $xml = simplexml_load_file('content.xml') or die ("Unable to load XML string!");

    #loop through results
    foreach ( $xml->xpath('//prompt') as $voiceQ) {
      foreach($voiceQ AS $inVoice)
        {
           echo "<h2>Thank you for visiting our site2</h2>";
           print $inVoice;
         }
    } //for
    ?>
