Thank you all in advance. I've got some great answers to my sometimes stupid questions, so thank you again.
I'm trying to parse a SOAP response using PHP, Xpath (namespaces) and SimpleXML. Down below is a snippet of the Response. What I need to do is loop through each <ns1:file></ns1:file> and add it to a DB. But I'm not sure how to do that. Please help!
Namespace Stuff
$x = simplexml_load_string($response);
$x->registerXPathNamespace('ns1', 'http://ws.icontent.idefense.com/V3/2');
Here's the response:
<ns1:mal_files>
<ns1:file>
<ns1:id>2895144</ns1:id>
<ns1:md5>2189c3d3857ba0cabd19c8aa031d63cd</ns1:md5>

<ns1:len_char>fixed</ns1:len_char>
</ns1:file>
</ns1:mal_files>
PHP Code
$md5 = $x->xpath('//ns1:mal_files/ns1:file/ns1:md5'); // Returns array :(
The PHP code returns an Array of all MD5 for every <ns1:file></ns1:file> and that's not what I need.
What I need is to loop through each of the (nodes?) for each of the <ns1:file> keying on the <ns1:id> and add all their associated elements (id, md5, sha1, etc) as a record, then move onto the next <ns1:file> and repeat. And obviously the PHP I'm using returns an array, which doesn't work here.
Hopefully I've made my question clear... I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
