How do I go about calling an image from a xml file in php?

My .xml file looks a bit like this;

\<image1\>…/work/example1.jpg\</image1\>  
\<image2\>…/work/example2.jpg\</image2\>  
\<image3\>…work/example3.jpg\</image3\>

I have tried several tests to get these urls to appear as images but as yet to no cigar. Some options I have tried include

\<div id=“equalright” class=“border”\>\<fo:external-graphic src="{image2}"/\>\</div\>

And

\<div id=“equalright” class=“border”\>\<img src="\<?php echo $image4; ?\>"\>\</div\>

I cant seem to find many other examples from the internet.
