Simple, use PHP's built in SimpleXML extension:
$object = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);
What this does is it essentially reads the XML string and parses it into a PHP object.
If you must have it as an array instead of an object, since it's multidimensional you can use this somewhat dirty method:
$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), true));
This exploits the JSON extension for it's optional $assoc parameter (if it's set to true, it will convert it to an associative array as opposed to simply converting it back to an object again.
