    You can do something like this:

    <?php
    $xml = new simplexmlelement('
    <order_0>
    <product_1>product Name</product_1>
    <product_2>product Name</product_2>
    <product_3>product Name</product_3>
    </order_0>
    ');
    echo count($xml);
    ?>
    Code (markup):
    Working example: https://3v4l.org/IKcfE

    PS another way of doing this:

    http://php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.count.php

    
    <?php
    $xml = <<<EOF<people>
    <person name="Person 1">
    <child/>
    <child/>
    <child/>
    </person>
    <person name="Person 2">
    <child/>
    <child/>
    <child/>
    <child/>
    <child/>
    </person>
    </people>EOF;$elem = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
    
    foreach ($elem as $person) {printf("%s has got %d children.\n", $person['name'], $person->count());
    }?>
