Below is the XML that I am trying to convert using simplexml_load_string().

$THE_XML = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Body>
  <ns:getMarketsByNpaNxxResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.inventory.ccds.com" xmlns:ax251="http://exceptions.commons.ccds.com/xsd" xmlns:ax250="http://exceptions.ccds.com/xsd" xmlns:ax260="http://availability.item.productsservices.ccds.com/xsd" xmlns:ax259="http://detail.item.productsservices.ccds.com/xsd" xmlns:ax264="http://item.productsservices.ccds.com/xsd" xmlns:ax257="http://ws.inventory.ccds.com/xsd" xmlns:ax255="http://security.ccds.com/xsd"><ns:return xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ax257:Market">
    <ax257:marketId>30</ax257:marketId>
    <ax257:marketName>AZ-FLAGSTAFF</ax257:marketName> 
    <ax257:npaNxxs>928863</ax257:npaNxxs>
    </ns:return>
  </ns:getMarketsByNpaNxxResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>';


$RESULT = simplexml_load_string($THE_XML);

var_dump($RESULT);

Returns:

object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (0) {
}

What am I doing wrong?

  • That's not an empty object - SimpleXMLElement has its own implementation of var_dump() that doesn't usually show recursive nodes. It would be (bool)false if it failed to load. Commented Jan 20, 2014 at 18:54
  • Do you know how to retrieve the namespaced child nodes? Commented Jan 20, 2014 at 18:55
  • Can you show an example of how you would show the results of the returned XML object? Commented Jan 20, 2014 at 19:02

    If you understand XML namespaces and how SimpleXML handles them, these should set you on your way. Some examples: stackoverflow.com/questions/6027398/…, stackoverflow.com/questions/6843025/simplexml-and-namespaces Important for you is to $RESULT->children('soapenv', true)->Body->children('ns', true)->getMarketsByNpaNxxResponse->children('ax257', true)->marketName Commented Jan 20, 2014 at 19:32
  • Thanks that example really helped - but this is so coarse to parse - it seems overly difficult :/ Commented Jan 20, 2014 at 19:42
