reading xml variables & writing variables to xml variable

[bm4499]

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

 

$xml='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Have you looked at SimpleXML?  If you're having trouble, please let us know precisely what you want to do with the $xml string.

hi, I want to filter things like:

$street = ...

(this value is below <text identifier="4339a108-f907-4661-9aab-d6f3f00e736e"> as for value)

 

$zip= ...

(this value is below <text identifier="ea0666d7-51e3-4e52-8617-25e3ad61f8b8">as for value)

 

$city = ...

(this value is below <text identifier="90a18889-884b-4d53-a302-4e6e4595efa0"> as for value).

 

When I see how you do these, then I can filter things like phone, url and so on myself.

 

Thanks in advance.

How do you know that 4339a108-f907-4661-9aab-d6f3f00e736e means the street? Did you have a look at SimpleXML yet?
