I am posting an XML file to a server using curl. Everthing works perfectly but I am not sure how to handle the response best way. I would like to parse it with simpleXML. With this request:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $XPost);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_errno($ch))
print curl_error($ch);
else
print_r($data);
curl_close($ch);
I am getting this as response-string (browser source view)

How do I correctly parse $data with simpleXML.I mean getting rid of the header part?
If you don’t need the header, set
CURLOPT_HEADERtofalse.
