Question

I got a simplexml variable wich stores an xml file, what i need to do is convert it to a string and then save it in a SQL database file, i tried:

echo $xml->asXML();

but it only shows me the content of the labels, and i need to get all the structure to save it.

Is there any way to get te full string from an XML variable in PHP ??

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Ok as someone said herem, simply using the

$test = $xml_variable->asXML();

it will store the entire xml in $test variable, only problem is that when you echo it it will show you only the label value, not the label itself. this is why i tought it wasnt working.

Anyway i updated the xml field in my sql table and it fills it with a well formated xml string .
