PHP performing on XML response
| Posted by FinalFrontier, 11-22-2011, 03:35 AM |
| I send off this:
In return, I get the following XML:
Is there a way to make it so this does not show, and instead I can make PHP do something like:
if (eTrxnStatus == True) {// do stuff};
?

| If you want to get the data back as a string instead of outputting it:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
...
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = simplexml_load_string($output);

| Thank you, Sam. I will try that soon.
What I am doing now is this...
I'm using:
... but getting these errors:
The response code I am getting back in XML is:
What could be causing this? I can't make any sense of it at all!

| Because curl_exec() does not return the string, it sends it to standard output. It's not returning anything, just printing, that's why you get "Start tag expected, '<' not found" meaning there is no data being passed to that function. That's why this is necessary:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
This will cause curl_exec not to print the output, but to return it from the function so it can be put into a variable or passed to a function as you are attempting to do now.
