if you are using php 5 you could try this:

$file = 'http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file);
print findAttribute($xml,'CONDITION');
 

function findAttribute($object, $attribute) {
  foreach($object->attributes() as $a => $b) {
   if ($a == $attribute) {
     $return = $b;
   }
  }
  if($return) {
   return $return;
  }
}
