problem with parsing xml

hungryfrank · November 6, 2016

i am having problem with parsing an xml file . i am only getting the first result


$results = new SimpleXMLElement($responseXml); 
if ($results->Ack == "Success")
				{	

$this_temp_array = $results->Messages;
foreach ($this_temp_array as $key => $value)
						{
							if ($key == $n)
							$Message = $value;
							//print_r ($Message);
                    $MessageID = $Message->Message->MessageID;				

$n=$n+1;
echo $MessageID;
}

}

i get only the first MessageID and not the other four. here is the result from print

$results = new SimpleXMLElement($responseXml);

There's a good chance that it is in $responseXml

echo "<pre>$responseXml</pre>";

$xml = simplexml_load_string($responseXml);


foreach ($xml->Messages->Message as $mes) {

    echo $mes->MessageID . '<br>';

}

thanks this works. can you tell me why it didn't work the other way?

i am planning to do this with a lot of different calls, so it would be good to know

You aren't process the array at the correct level. Add the line indicated to view the array key. You should have keys0, 1, 2, ....

    $this_temp_array = $results->Messages;
    foreach ($this_temp_array as $key => $value) {
        echo "Key is: $key<br>";                        // <-- add this to get a clue
        if ($key == $n)
            $Message = $value;
        //print_r ($Message);
        $MessageID = $Message->Message->MessageID;                

        $n=$n+1;
        echo $MessageID;
    }
