Question

I’m just trying to load a one element xml string to a DOMDocument object, and then retrieve the content but i can’t..This is what I’m trying:

$xml = '<element_1>foobar</element_1>';

$dd = new DOMDocument();
$dd->loadXml($xml);

var_dump($dd->getElementsByTagName('element_1')); //this prints object(DOMNodeList)#2 (0) {
}

Any help?

Have you tried using simplexml_load_string()?

Example:

<?php

$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<element_1>
foobar
</element_1>
XML;

$data = simplexml_load_string($xml);

echo $data;
