Trailing solidus not allowed on element

Question

I am developing web application in php using soap api. I have the xml format as shown below to send the request to the api but I get the error like Trailing solidus not allowed on element companyname while viewing the xml in postman.

<OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05" ResponseType="OTA" ResponseVersion="1.9.2" Version="1.9.2" AvailableFlightsOnly="true">

            </RequestorID>                        
        </Source>

    </TPA_Extensions>                
</OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ>

I had googled the error but not found any solution. I also cannot determine what the error say so I need some help.

Screenshot:

When I hover to the cross sign in line 5 I get the error like Trailing solidus not allowed on element companyname and when I hover to the line 6 I get error like Unexpected end tag (requestorid) ignored. Here I cannot determined what the error says. I think it's in the correct xml format.

Trailing solidus is that `/` you have in ``. And since the next end tag is unexpected, I assume that you need to open and close `` — FirstOne, Mar 13 '16 at 17:27
When I open and closed the tag then I get the error like `Unexpected end tag (source). Ignored. ` — Kiran Subedi, Mar 13 '16 at 17:34

I had this happen today, but all I needed to do was switch the response viewer type in Postman from "HTML" to "XML" and the errors went away. This probably happened since the server responding did not appropriately set the Content-Type header - it came in as text/html for me instead of text/xml.

Actually this has connection to self closing tag like <CompanyName Code="TN" />.

Just replace this with <CompanyName Code="TN"></CompanyName> and the error goes away.

Hope this helps.

Try this way:

<POS>
 <Source PseudoCityCode="ThisShouldBeYourIPCCNotJustPCCasValue">
    <RequestorID ID="1" Type="1">
        <CompanyName Code="TN">TN</CompanyName>
    </RequestorID>
 </Source>
</POS>

Changing the content of the response is no option. – Heiner Oct 02 '17 at 10:58
