将cURL响应转换为变量

I am a noob at curl and xml, but I have searched this site and the web for an answer to this, and nothing I have found works.

I am sending XML using cURL and the recipient service is getting the data correctly and creating a response which I am receiving. The response is echo'd from curl_exec as

<TRANS>
    <HPAY>
        <ID>223</ID>
        <MLABEL>XXXX XXXX XXXX 9854</MLABEL>
        <DATE>11/06/2013 21:00:36</DATE>
        <SEN></SEN>
        <REC>sc</REC>
        <DEB>0.00</DEB>
        <CRED>10.34</CRED>
        <COM>2.00</COM>
        <MSG></MSG>
        <STATUS>3</STATUS>
    </HPAY>
</TRANS>

Now I need to turn these in to variables, and now I am scratching my head at how to do this.

Edit, tried pasting browser source here but it keeps changing it. However, to answer a previous comment, it is an xml response

Just Use SimpleXMLElement

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
$details = array();
foreach($xml->HPAY->children() as $k => $v) {
    $details[$k] = "$v";
}
print_r($details);

Output

Array
(
    [ID] => 223
    [MLABEL] => XXXX XXXX XXXX 9854
    [DATE] => 11/06/2013 21:00:36
    [SEN] => 
    [REC] => sc
    [DEB] => 0.00
    [CRED] => 10.34
    [COM] => 2.00
    [MSG] => 
    [STATUS] => 3
)

You need to extract the data with XML parser like xpath
