angelleye Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm working with PayPal's API, specifically the Express Checkout portion. I've very experienced with it, but not as experienced with PHP. The first call you make during Express Checkout has the option to send <Custom> and <InvoiceID>. If you send it they will be returned in the details response later on (the second call in the process.) I have functions setup to handle each call. I'm actually treating their SOAP API just like XML over HTTP rather than working with .wsdl files because I simply haven't figured that out yet. Anyway, I make the call and then I parse the response using DOMDocument() and getElementsByTagName(). The problem occurs when <Custom> and <InvoiceID> don't get sent originally and they don't come back later. I wind up with notices: Trying to get property of non-object. Here's a look at the SOAP/XML response I'm working with.. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:cc="urn:ebay:apis:CoreComponentTypes" xmlns:wsu="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/utility" xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion" xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:market="urn:ebay:apis:Market" xmlns:auction="urn:ebay:apis:Auction" xmlns:sizeship="urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI/sizeship.xsd" xmlns:ship="urn:ebay:apis:ship" xmlns:skype="urn:ebay:apis:skype" xmlns:wsse="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/12/secext" xmlns:ebl="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents" xmlns:ns="urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI"> <SOAP-ENV:Header> <Security xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/12/secext" xsi:type="wsse:SecurityType"></Security> <RequesterCredentials xmlns="urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI" xsi:type="ebl:CustomSecurityHeaderType"> <Credentials xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents" xsi:type="ebl:UserIdPasswordType"> <Username xsi:type="xs:string"></Username> <Password xsi:type="xs:string"></Password> <Signature xsi:type="xs:string"></Signature> <Subject xsi:type="xs:string"></Subject> </Credentials> </RequesterCredentials> </SOAP-ENV:Header> <SOAP-ENV:Body id="_0"> <GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponse xmlns="urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI"> <Timestamp xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">2008-02-17T03:08:54Z</Timestamp> <Ack xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">Success</Ack> <CorrelationID xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">bc959a8774e4b</CorrelationID> <Version xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">50.000000</Version> <Build xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">512684</Build> <GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponseDetails xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents" xsi:type="ebl:GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponseDetailsType"> <Token xsi:type="ebl:ExpressCheckoutTokenType">EC-07T88228A7173890V</Token> <PayerInfo xsi:type="ebl:PayerInfoType"> <Payer xsi:type="ebl:EmailAddressType">drew_angell@yahoo.com</Payer> <PayerID xsi:type="ebl:UserIDType">USXPZMPA94YQ6</PayerID> <PayerStatus xsi:type="ebl:PayPalUserStatusCodeType">verified</PayerStatus> <PayerName xsi:type="ebl:PersonNameType"> <Salutation xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"></Salutation> <FirstName xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">Drew</FirstName> <MiddleName xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"></MiddleName> <LastName xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">Angell</LastName> <Suffix xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"></Suffix> </PayerName> <PayerCountry xsi:type="ebl:CountryCodeType">US</PayerCountry> <PayerBusiness xsi:type="xs:string"></PayerBusiness> <Address xsi:type="ebl:AddressType"> <Name xsi:type="xs:string">Drew Angell</Name> <Street1 xsi:type="xs:string">34234 E. 50th St.</Street1> <Street2 xsi:type="xs:string"></Street2> <CityName xsi:type="xs:string">Kansas City</CityName> <StateOrProvince xsi:type="xs:string">MO</StateOrProvince> <Country xsi:type="ebl:CountryCodeType">US</Country> <CountryName></CountryName> <PostalCode xsi:type="xs:string">64111</PostalCode> <AddressOwner xsi:type="ebl:AddressOwnerCodeType">PayPal</AddressOwner> <AddressStatus xsi:type="ebl:AddressStatusCodeType">Confirmed</AddressStatus> </Address> <ContactPhone xsi:type="xs:string"></ContactPhone> </PayerInfo> <BillingAgreementAcceptedStatus>false</BillingAgreementAcceptedStatus> </GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponseDetails> </GetExpressCheckoutDetailsResponse> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Here is how I'm parsing the data, which I was thinking would handle when the element didn't exist... $XMLDOM = new DOMDocument(); $XMLDOM -> loadXML($SOAPResponse); $Custom = $XMLDOM -> getElementsByTagName("Custom"); if(isset($Custom)) $Custom = $Custom -> item(0) -> nodeValue; else $Custom = ""; $InvoiceID = $XMLDOM -> getElementsByTagName("InvoiceID"); if(isset($InvoiceID)) $InvoiceID = $InvoiceID -> item(0) -> nodeValue; else $InvoiceID = ""; The error is actually occurs on the line that uses ->item(0) -> nodeValue. So apparently $InvoiceID and $Custom are getting set (and passing the isset() check) but then that element isn't actually in the response data so it can't parse it. All of the rest of them are working beautifully as long as the element actually exists in the response, even if it's a blank element. Any information on how to do this correctly would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
