Question

I have a string in the pattern similar to:

john.smith 9.5 9.49296 Active [e-mail] [phone]

and I just want to echo “9.5” out of it which is next to “smith” using PHP.

Update:

sorry guys…just noticed that it is an xml file, couldn’t see properly in safari, checked in firefox and it is displayed as:

<GetUserInfo>
<Customer>john.smith</Customer>
<Balance>9.5</Balance>
<SpecificBalance>9.49296</SpecificBalance>
<Status>False</Status>
<EmailAddress>[e-mail]</EmailAddress>
<Phone>[phone]</Phone>
</GetUserInfo>

Now what would be the php code to echo “9.5”

Thanks for your earlier answers…

Answer 1

This will work

<?php
$string = "<GetUserInfo>
<Customer>john.smith</Customer>
<Balance>9.5</Balance>
<SpecificBalance>9.49296</SpecificBalance>
<Status>False</Status>
<EmailAddress>[e-mail]</EmailAddress>
<Phone>[phone]</Phone>
</GetUserInfo>";

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);

echo  $xml->Balance;

?>
