You should be able to read the string using [url="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php"]simplexml_load_string[/url].

Each node will be part of the object as you had shown instead of an array.

Code:
$xml = '&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;

     <Resource>

            <item name="projectTerm">Project Term</item>

            <item name="projecttermText">Project Term Text</item>

            <item name="Langauage">Langauge</item>

            <item name="createnewTerm">+  Create New Term</item>

            <item name="projectTermForm">Project Term Form</item>

     </Resource>';

$data = simplexml_load_string($xml);

$project_term = $data->projectTerm;

Dear pickupman

it's doesn't work

when i try your solution and

Code:
$xml = '&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;

     <Resource>

      <item name="projectTerm">Project Term</item>

      <item name="projecttermText">Project Term Text</item>

      <item name="Langauage">Langauge</item>

      <item name="createnewTerm">+  Create New Term</item>

      <item name="projectTermForm">Project Term Form</item>

     </Resource>';

  $XMLdata = simplexml_load_string($xml);

  print_r($XMLdata);

i had this output

Code:
( [item] => Array ( [0] => Project Term [1] => Project Term Text [2] => Langauge 

[3] => + Create New Term [4] => Project Term Form ) )

so i can reach the item using

Code:
$XMLdata->item[0]; // the output will be Project Term

but i don't want to use the index 0,1,2 ... i want to use the name attribute to catch the key

i solved the problem

Code:
$this->lang->load('welcome');

   $xml = '&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;

     <Resource>

      <item name="projectTerm">Project Term</item>

      <item name="projecttermText">Project Term Text</item>

      <item name="Langauage">Langauge</item>

      <item name="createnewTerm">+  Create New Term</item>

      <item name="projectTermForm">Project Term Form</item>

     </Resource>';

  $XMLdata = simplexml_load_string($xml);

  foreach($XMLdata->item as $node)

  {

   $attr = (string)$node->attributes()->name;

   $data[$attr] = (string) $node[0];

  }

  print_r($data);
