Chris92 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi, I'm working on a script that connects to a remote API and receives information in XML. The problem I'm having is I can't seem to get it to parse right. The information that is received is this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><response xmlns:agent="http://www.eurodns.com/agent"><result code="1000"> <msg><![CDATA[Command completed successfully]]></msg></result><resData> <agent:balance currency="EUR">0.00</agent:balance></resData></response> I'm trying to use the SimpleXMLElement class to parse it and this is the result I get: SimpleXMLElement Object( [result] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [code] => 1000 ) [msg] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) ) [resData] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( )) As you might notice the resData Object is for some reason empty. I haven't done much XML parsing with PHP 5 before so I'm probably missing something. Any help is appreciated, Chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/213645-xml-parsing-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
the182guy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Here's an example: $string = <<<XML<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><response xmlns:agent="http://www.eurodns.com/agent"> <result code="1000"> <msg><![CDATA[Command completed successfully]]></msg> </result> <resData> <agent:balance currency="EUR">0.00</agent:balance> <agent:balance currency="GBP">100.00</agent:balance> </resData> </response>XML;$xml = simplexml_load_string($string); foreach ($xml->resData->children('http://www.eurodns.com/agent') as $agent) {echo $agent->attributes()->currency;echo $agent;echo '<hr>';} There's an article about it here: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/688#Heading3 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/213645-xml-parsing-problems/#findComment-1112019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris92 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thanks. The problem as you pointed out were the namespaces. Here's how I managed to fix it: function xmlToObject($xml, $type){$array = array();$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($this->exec($xml));foreach( $xml->resData as $value ){ $array[] = $value->children('http://www.eurodns.com/' . $type);}return $array;} Which gave me: Array( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [balance] => 0.00 )) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/213645-xml-parsing-problems/#findComment-1112025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
