How to parse this SOAP request

[dr.pepper]

I am looking for some help parsing the SOAP request below:

 

try
{
    $aSoapConnectionOptions = array(
        'cache_wsdl'    => WSDL_CACHE_BOTH,
        'compression'   => SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT | SOAP_COMPRESSION_GZIP,
        'encoding'      => 'ISO-8859-1',
        'trace'         => 1
    );

    $client = new SoapClient(WSDL_URI, $aSoapConnectionOptions);

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <ReceiveData xmlns="GDWebService">
      <value>
	<![CDATA[
	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
                    <XMLRequest xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
                            <Description>EventsOnlyListLoad</Description>
                            <Item xsi:type="XMLEventsOnlyRequest">
                            <RangeStartDate>01/01/2006</RangeStartDate>
                            <RangeEndDate>01/12/2012</RangeEndDate>
                            <ResType />    
                            <ResView>Web Sales Events</ResView>
                            </Item>
                        </XMLRequest>
	]]>
        </value>
    </ReceiveData>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';

$response = $client->__doRequest($xml,REQUEST_URL,"GDWebService/ReceiveData",'1.1');

 

When I print out the response, I get the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><ReceiveDataResponse xmlns="GDWebService"><ReceiveDataResult><?xml version="1.0"?>
<ResourceList xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <ResList>
    <anyType xsi:type="XMLEventsOnly">
      <AVAILABLE>0</AVAILABLE>
      <EVENTNAME>Test Event</EVENTNAME>
      <RESTYPE>Families</RESTYPE>
      <TotalBooked>0</TotalBooked>
      <StartTime>11:00</StartTime>
      <ID>0069</ID>
      <EventCode>0000003701</EventCode>
      <EventDate>30/05/2011</EventDate>
      <EventDescription> </EventDescription>
      <Capacity>0</Capacity>
      <ProductMapID>   </ProductMapID>
      <LongDescription> </LongDescription>
      <ImageLink> </ImageLink>
      <MINPERBOOKING>0</MINPERBOOKING>
      <MAXPERBOOKING>0</MAXPERBOOKING>
      <ValidFrom> </ValidFrom>
      <ValidTo> </ValidTo>
      <AdditionalInfo> </AdditionalInfo>
      <ValidDays> </ValidDays>
      <MoreInfoLink> </MoreInfoLink>
    </anyType>
</ResList>
  <EventsOnly>false</EventsOnly>
</ResourceList></ReceiveDataResult></ReceiveDataResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

 

I want to be able to get the response as an object so I can easily loop through the ResList. Currently, the only way I seem to be able to do this is by doing the following but I know it's not the best code:

 

$response = str_replace("xmlns=\"GDWebService\"", "", $response);
                        $response = str_replace("soap:Body","body",$response);
            
                        $response = simplexml_load_string($response);
                        
                        $response = $response->body->ReceiveDataResponse->ReceiveDataResult;
                        
                        $response = simplexml_load_string($response);
                       
                        if($response->ResList)
                        foreach($response->ResList->anyType as $Item){
                       //echo data here
                        }

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Thanks

Anyone??

It returns

      <EVENTNAME>Test Event</EVENTNAME>

 

not

 

      <EVENTNAME>Test Event</EVENTNAME>

 

?

[dr.pepper]

Yes. Not sure why. I can use HTML_entity_decode to get it like that though so would that help?

[xyph]

I understand that. Just to confirm, if you had a value like...

<EVENTNAME>Test <error> Event</EVENTNAME>

... it would end up like

<EVENTNAME>Test &lt;error&gt; Event</EVENTNAME>

 

If so...

$str = substr( $str, $start, $end-$start+15 );

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement( $str, LIBXML_NOERROR | LIBXML_NOWARNING  );

Thanks a lot. That has worked.
