Extracting Certain elements from soap response

Question

First time in my life trying to achieve implement wsdl service into web site. I am getting following response from service. I tried to parse response with following code but probably doing something wrong in somewhere. Could anyone help me to parse certain nodes from response?

Regards and Thanks

$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);


$hotels = $xml->children('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope')->Body->children('http://axis.frontend.hydra.hotelbeds.com')->hoteldetailrs->hotel;

foreach ($hotels as $hotel) {
    echo ' 

        <hoteldetails>
            <h1>' .$hotel->name . '</h1>
            <h2>' .$hotel->code . '</h2>
        </hoteldetails>

     ';
}

Trying with following tells me node no longer exist. Any suggestion? echo "Hotel Name:" .$xml->children('soapenv', true)->children()->gethoteldetail->children()->hoteldetailrs->children()->hotel-children()->name . "\n"; — Hakan, Sep 01 '14 at 16:52
you are actucally not speaking [SOAP](http://php.net/manual/de/book.soap.php) at all. — hek2mgl, Sep 04 '14 at 10:47

You're not targeting namespaces correctly. Use getNamespaces to see how to handle them if your struggle, and it becomes easy to target the wanted nodes :

$namespaces = $xml->getNamespaces(true);

$hotels = $xml->children($namespaces['soapenv'])
              ->body
              ->children($namespaces['ns1'])
              ->children()
              ->hoteldetailrs
              ->hotel;

foreach ($hotels as $hotel) {
    echo ' 
        <hoteldetails>
            <h1>' .$hotel->name . '</h1>
            <h2>' .$hotel->code . '</h2>
        </hoteldetails>
     ';
}

Output :

Aquahotel Aquamarina

Just let me know if you need more explanations on children() with namespaces given as parameters, but be sure to check the documentation of children() first

SimpleXMLElement::children(): Node no longer exists '$namespaces = $xml->getNamespaces(true); var_dump($namespaces); $hotels = $xml->children($namespaces['soapenv']) ->body ->children($namespaces['ns1']) ->children() ->hoteldetailrs ->hotel;' – Hakan Sep 05 '14 at 10:49
@Hakan I executed this code again, and it's working as expected : http://codepad.org/i9Drp0pP – Clément Malet Sep 05 '14 at 11:08
Thank you very Much Clement Malet. My conversion from soap response to simple_xml seems that wrong. I am trying to solve problem. Thanks – Hakan Sep 05 '14 at 12:06

$client = new SoapClient("http://path.to/wsdl?WSDL");
$res = $client->SoapFunction(array('param1'=>'value','param2'=>'value'));
echo $res->gethoteldetail->city;

You can use following function to parse you xml data:

$str = '<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?--> ..... ';
$ResponseData = xml2array($str, 0); 
$HotelData = $ResponseData['soapenv:envelope']['soapenv:body']['ns1:gethoteldetail']['hoteldetailrs'];
echo "<pre>"; print_r($HotelData); die;

Function:

function xml2array($contents, $get_attributes=1, $priority = 'tag') {

    if(!$contents) return array();

    if(!function_exists('xml_parser_create')) {
        return array();
    }

    $parser = xml_parser_create('');
    xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING, "UTF-8"); 
    xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
    xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);
    xml_parse_into_struct($parser, trim($contents), $xml_values);
    xml_parser_free($parser);

    if(!$xml_values) return;

    $xml_array = array();
    $parents = array();
    $opened_tags = array();
    $arr = array();
    $current = &$xml_array;
    $repeated_tag_index = array();

    foreach($xml_values as $data) {

        unset($attributes,$value);
        extract($data);

        $result = array();
        $attributes_data = array();

        if(isset($value)) {         
            if($priority == 'tag')  $result = $value;  else  $result['value'] = $value;
        }   
        if(isset($attributes) and $get_attributes) {            
            foreach($attributes as $attr => $val) {             
                if($priority == 'tag') 
                    $attributes_data[$attr] = $val;
                else 
                    $result['attr'][$attr] = $val;
            }
        }

            if(!is_array($current) or (!in_array($tag, array_keys($current)))) {            
                $current[$tag] = $result;               
                if($attributes_data) $current[$tag. '_attr'] = $attributes_data;                
                $repeated_tag_index[$tag.'_'.$level] = 1;
                $current = &$current[$tag];             
            } else {

                    $repeated_tag_index[$tag.'_'.$level]++;                 
                } else {

                    $repeated_tag_index[$tag.'_'.$level] = 1;
                    if($priority == 'tag' and $get_attributes) {
                        if(isset($current[$tag.'_attr'])) {

                    }
                    $repeated_tag_index[$tag.'_'.$level]++; 
                }
            }           
        } elseif($type == 'close') { 
            $current = &$parent[$level-1];
        }
    }

    return($xml_array);
}

I hope this will help you.
