Load string as xml from mysql

Im trying to get a string from a mysql database and handle it like an xml object, navigation etc.i got an sql table with a "longtext" field wich stores my xml file as a simple string. I do the select on the database and i get the string but only the info, not the tags etc.Is there any way to select a string from a mysql database (xml formated), get it to php and work with it as a xml file ?thanks in advance
