Hi.
After spending SEVERAL frustrated hours on this I am asking for your help.
I am trying to get the content of particular nodes from a SOAP response.
The response is
$XmlStr = <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"<xmlns:ns1="http://soap.xxxxxx.co.uk/"><env:Body><ns1:PlaceOrderResponse><xxxxxOrderNumber></xxxxxOrderNumber><ErrorArray><Error><ErrorCode>24</ErrorCode><ErrorText>The+client+order+number+3002254+is+already+in+use</ErrorText></Error><Error><ErrorCode>1</ErrorCode><ErrorText>Aborting</ErrorText></Error></ErrorArray></ns1:PlaceOrderResponse></env:Body></env:Envelope>
I am trying to get at the nodes and children of <ErrorArray.
Because of the XML containing namespaces
$XmlArray = new SimpleXMLElement($XmlStr);
foreach ($XmlArray->env:Envelope->env:Body->ns1:PlaceOrderResponse->ErrorArray->Error as $Error)
{
echo $Error->ErrorCode."<br />";<br />
}
doesn't work.
I have read a number of articles such as
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/10/20/simplexml-and-namespaces/
htp://blog.stuartherbert.com/php/2007/01/07/using-simplexml-to-parse-rss-feeds/
and about 20 questions on this site
which unfortunately are not helping.
(the second
link has htp:// as a newbie here I cannot post more than one link)
Even writing,
$XmlArray = new SimpleXMLElement($XmlStr);
echo "<br /><br /><pre>\n";
print_r($XmlArray);
echo "<pre><br /><br />\n";
gives
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)
which makes me wonder if the soap response ($XmlStr) is actually a valid input for SimpleXMLElement.
It seems that the line
$XmlArray = new SimpleXMLElement($XmlStr);
is not doing what I expect it to.
Any help on how to get the nodes from the XML above would be very welcome.
Obviously getting it to work (having a working example) is what I need in the short term, but if someone could help me understand what I am doing wrong would be better in the long term.
Cheers.
Stu
