Question

I have the following XML data which is generated by a webservice

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<rsp xmlns="http://worldcat.org/xid/isbn/" stat="ok">
      <isbn   oclcnum="263710087 491996179 50279560 60857040 429386124 44597307" lccn="00131084" form="AA BC" year="2002" lang="eng" ed="1st American ed." title="Harry Potter and the goblet of fire"  author="J.K. Rowling."  publisher="Scholastic Inc."  city="New York [u.a.]"    url="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263710087?referer=xid">9780439139601</isbn>

</rsp>

I need to read the data in the ‘isbn’ tag, more specifically, the value of the property ‘title’. How would I do this in PHP.

Thanks

Answer 1

I have solved this myself.

$xmldata= file_get_contents("http://xisbn.worldcat.org/webservices/xid/isbn/9780439139601?method=getMetadata&format=xml&fl=*");
$xml= new SimpleXMLElement($xmldata);
print $xml->isbn[0]['title'];
