Another solution, the only solution that worked for me : $xml = $soap_xml_result; $xml = preg_replace(“/(<\/?)(\w+):([^>]*>)/”, ‘$1$2$3’, $xml); $xml = simplexml_load_string($xml); $json = json_encode($xml); $responseArray = json_decode($json, true); // true to have an array, false for an object print_r($responseArray); Enjoy 🙂
This XPath query on the SimpleXML object will return all DocSum nodes that have an Item child with value “Author” in the Name attribute and value “Olivera GC” in the text node: $nodes = $xml->xpath(‘//DocSum[Item[@Name=”Author” and .=”Oliveira GC”]]’); $book = $nodes[0]; print_r($book);
This should work. $id = $xml[“id”]; Your XML root becomes the root of the SimpleXML object; your code is calling a chid root by the name of ‘show’, which doesn’t exist. You can also use this link for some tutorials: http://php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php
Sure you can edit with SimpleXML: $input = <<<END <?xml version=’1.0′ standalone=”yes”?> <documents> <document> <name>spec.doc</name> </document> </documents> END; $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($input); $xml->document[0]->name=”spec.pdf”; $output = $xml->asXML(); Take a look at the examples.
The simple answer here is not to use print_r() with SimpleXML objects. Because they are wrappers around non-PHP data, functions like that which would normally show the “whole” object don’t really reflect what you’re looking at. The way to access an attribute with SimpleXML is to use the attribute name as though it was an … Read more
Are you wanting to get the name of the root node? $xml = simplexml_load_string($str); echo $xml->getName();
Cast as whatever type you want (and makes sense…). By concatenating, you’re implicitly casting to string, so $value = (string) $xml->someNode->innerNode;
With SimpleXML, you can get : sub-elements, using object notation : $element->subElement and attributes, using array notation : $element[‘attribute’] So, here, I’d say you’d have to use : echo $child[‘name’]; As a reference, and for a couple of examples, see the Basic usage section of simplexml’s manual. Example #6 should be the interesting one, about … Read more
The purpose of CDATA sections in XML is to encapsulate a block of text “as is” which would otherwise require special characters (in particular, >, < and &) to be escaped. A CDATA section containing the character & is the same as a normal text node containing &. If a parser were to offer to … Read more
There might be ways to achieve what you want using only SimpleXML, but in this case, the simplest way to do it is to use DOM. The good news is if you’re already using SimpleXML, you don’t have to change anything as DOM and SimpleXML are basically interchangeable: // either $articles = simplexml_load_string($xml); echo dom_import_simplexml($articles)->textContent; … Read more
