Use SimpleXML: http://php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php
From that extension you can use simplexml_load_file() with LIBXML_NOCDATA, here's an example:

# XML file
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<aaa>
	<bbb>
		<id>1</id>
		<title>title 1</title>
		<msg><![CDATA[hello world string]]></msg>
	</bbb>
	<bbb>
		<id>2</id>
		<title>another title</title>
		<msg>another message</msg>
	</bbb>
</aaa>

# PHP file
<?php 
$xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml', 'SimpleXMLElement',LIBXML_NOCDATA); 
print_r($xml);
?>

The problem is there is no xml file. what happens is that on my site someone books a car with parameters such as pick up location, pick up date...etc. When quote button is clicked this send a deep link into another site , ie example... www.website.com ...followed by code and within this is CDATA which we need to extract. Any ideas? you can see the car data we have extracted such as pick up time but we do not have CDATA at present which is required for actually booking the car. see example http://www.whels4rent.net/test00.html

You don't really need a file on your server, you can write a remote url:

simplexml_load_file('http://cars.website/path/file.xml', 'SimpleXMLElement',LIBXML_NOCDATA);

Or you can use simplexml_load_string()* which can be used with POST method.
If this is not enough, try to post an example here because the link you wrote is broken.
