Question about xmlNode code

[doubledee]

Can someone please explain WHAT this code is and HOW it works?

 

(Duh!  Obviously it is manipulating XML, however I don't know what function or whatever is doing the legwork?!)

 

$xmlStr .=  xmlNode("xxxTransType", "00");
$xmlStr .=  xmlNode("MerchantNumber", $merchantNumber); 
  $xmlStr .=  xmlNode("Products", $Products);
  $xmlStr .=  xmlNode("xxxName", $xxxName);
  $xmlStr .=  xmlNode("xxxCompany", $xxxCompany);
  $xmlStr .=  xmlNode("xxxAddress", $xxxAddress);

 

 

Thanks,

The xmlNode function being used is not part of PHP by default. Somewhere else in your script it will have been defined (function xmlNode(...)), without seeing that definition we cannot do anything other than guess what it is and how it works.

 

It looks like the function might take a node name and a value, and return those as an XML element. For example, xmlNode("cake", "carrot") might return <cake>carrot</cake>.

Okay, thanks, I'll go track down that supposed function then.
