You have a minor problem in your code, simplexml_load_string documentation refers:

Takes a well-formed XML string and returns it as an object.

and you're providing a SimpleXMLElement as the first argument. Just replace that line from your code with this one:

echo (string) 'Summary: ' . simplexml_load_string($entries->summary->children()->asXML(), null, LIBXML_NOCDATA) . "<br />\n";
