That geocoder output does not have the coordinates in the first node.
It's in the "coordinates" element. It might be in the first node if
you replace output=xml with output=csv [Or maybe not, because that
won't be well-formed XML].

Providing your system can load external files, it's probably loading
the XML, but you need to look in the right place for the data you
need.
$xml=simplexml_load_file($locfile);
$coords=$xml->Response->Placemark->Point->coordinates
Then split $coords and use the constituent parts.
