Question

I have been working with some code for many hours today, wondering if someone could point me in a better direction than I’m going now.

I have PHP code that is fetching an array of data by sending XML via send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content).

My function:

function send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content)
{
$posturl = "https://" . $host . $path;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $posturl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8"));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
//  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    return $response;
}

$headers = array(
    "Content-type: text/xml;charset=utf-8",
    "Accept: application/xml",
    "Cache-Control: no-cache",
    "Pragma: no-cache",
    "Content-length: " . strlen($content),
    );


$content = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
                <soap:Envelope    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
                <soap:Body>
                <GetLocations xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
                    <AuthLogin>ClientName</AuthLogin>
                    <UserName>MyUser</UserName>
                    <Password>SomePassword</Password>
                </GetLocations>
            </soap:Body>
            </soap:Envelope>';

$response = send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content);

EDIT:

I’m getting closer, I implemented Baba’s code and now getting a different error:

Warning: Unknown: Node no longer exists in….

I have the same code from above, with this now processing the response:

if ($response)
{

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
$path = $xml->xpath("//soap:Body");
$path = $path[0] ;
foreach($path->GetLocationsResponse->GetLocationsResult->SearchLocations->children() as $table)
{
echo $table->Table->LocationName . "<br>";
}

Here’s the true XML returned – I noticed Firebug made all the XML lowercase, whereas the source code has capitals mixed in which I think might matter.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<GetLocationsResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<GetLocationsResult>
<SearchLocations>
<Table>
<LocationName>
</Table>
<Table>
<LocationId>103501</LocationId>
<LocationName>Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA</LocationName>
</Table>
<Table>
<LocationId>101600</LocationId>
<LocationName>Atlanta, Georgia, USA</LocationName>
</Table>
</SearchLocations>
</GetLocationsResponse>
</GetLocationsResult>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

THANKS!!!

The response you got is not HTML but XML but it looks like Your XML is wrong there is an invalid tag or you must have made mistake … see

  <LocationName>Hawaii</Location>
                             ^--- it should be LocationName

It should be like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Body>
        <getlocationsresponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org">
            <getlocationsresult>
                <SearchLocations>
                    <Table>
                        <LocationID>10322</LocationID>
                        <LocationName>Hawaii</LocationName>
                    </Table>
                </SearchLocations>
            </getlocationsresult>
        </getlocationsresponse>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Read This XML

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
$path = $xml->xpath("//soap:Body");
$path = $path[0] ;
foreach($path->getlocationsresponse->getlocationsresult->SearchLocations->children() as $table)
{
     echo $table->LocationName . "<br>";
}

Output

 Hawaii

—— Edit ——–

Your new XML is wrong again .. this is what it should look like http://codepad.org/JgJfqnrA
