We have a PHP XML RPC we make to a third party and they are having issues with returning additional text outside the XML body like

133
<Envelope>
<Body>
<RESULT>
<SUCCESS>true</SUCCESS>
<SESSIONID>99B153C1DFA889C34213B</SESSIONID>
<ORGANIZATION_ID>f528764d624db129b32c21fbca0cb8d6</ORGANIZATION_ID>
<SESSION_ENCODING>;jsessionid=99B153C1DFA889C34213B</SESSION_ENCODING>
</RESULT>
</Body>
</Envelope>

0

The additional text varies and is not always numeric. Their staff are working on the issue but in the interim it would be great if using PHP I could cleanly eliminate everything in their response outside the <Envelope></Envelope>.

Anyone have a tip for me?

    For example:

    <?php

$xml = '133
<Envelope>
<Body>
<RESULT>
<SUCCESS>true</SUCCESS>
<SESSIONID>99B153C1DFA889C34213B</SESSIONID>
<ORGANIZATION_ID>f528764d624db129b32c21fbca0cb8d6</ORGANIZATION_ID>
<SESSION_ENCODING>;jsessionid=99B153C1DFA889C34213B</SESSION_ENCODING>
</RESULT>
</Body>
</Envelope>

0';

$open_tag = '<Envelope>';
$close_tag = '</Envelope>';

$start_index = strpos($xml,$open_tag);
$length = strpos($xml, $close_tag) - $start_index + strlen($close_tag);
$clean_xml = substr($xml, $start_index, $length);

echo $clean_xml;

echo "\r\n";

    Other solution, inline but way less elegant:

    $clean_xml = $open_tag . reset(explode($close_tag,end(explode($open_tag,$xml)))) . $close_tag;

echo $clean_xml;

echo "\r\n";
