Calling SOAP / XML Response Experts

[ryanschefke]

Hello,

 

I am playing with an API from a company that makes a SOAP request and an XML response is sent back. I am not sure how to use/interpret the response and need some help. You can see the output here: http://www.leadliaison.com/test_hooversAPI.php. 

 

The script is below, which dumps this output on the above link to the screen.

 

For now, I just want to print something simple like annual sales, which according to the providers API has the XML output parameters of: \return\resultSet\hit\company-results\finsales

 

<form method="post" action="test_hooversAPI.php">
    <table border=0>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input type="radio" name="methodName" value="FindCompanyByKeyword">FindCompanyByKeyword
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input type="radio" name="methodName" value="AdvancedCompanySearch">AdvancedCompanySearch
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input type="radio" name="methodName" value="GetCompanyDetail">GetCompanyDetail
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input type="radio" name="methodName" value="GetAdvancedSearchLookups">GetAdvancedSearchLookups

[Q695]

Try this out, because I had a very similar issue:

 

if ($cost>=1)

{

if ($cost=abs($cost)) {

$cost="$".$cost.".00";

}

else {

$cost="$".$cost."0";

}

[Q695]

if ($cost>=1)

{

if ($cost==round($cost)) {

$cost="$".$cost.".00";

}

else {

$cost="$".$cost."0";

}
