How can I parse this XML?

There are countless ways… Suggest you look at Xpath (or PHP's built-in XML object) for what you want to do. You can also use preg_match and almost anything else that can parse textual data.



Unfortunately there is no standard way to parse XML, just a variety of tools that will provide info in a variety of formats. What I've found works best for php is to extract the elements (or text between beginning and ending tags) and then use:


$xml = simplexml_load_string($your_xml_data);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$php_array - json_decode($json, true);


The above seems to return the most reliable results and is the simplest to implement.

Thanks man. Very helpful.


$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($response);
echo $doc->getElementsByTagName('status')->item(0)->nodeValue;


This is also good.

Hope this will help you.....XML Reader
