Re: SimpleXMLElement is not Simple

I am having nightmares with this bit off code.

The following code work perfectly fine:

$soap_request_string = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"; xmlns:ns1="urn:Gateway_Proxy" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:enc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding";>
<env:Body>
<ns1:make_proxy_payment env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding";>
<payment_id>61ecc268-1cd0-f468</payment_id>
<payment_amount>15495</payment_amount>
<callback_query_string>&amp;payment_id=61ecc268-1cd0-f468</callback_query_string>
<transaction_note>Order from Student Library Fees with Payment Id: 61ecc268-1cd0-f468</transaction_note>
</ns1:make_proxy_payment>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
XML;

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($soap_request_string, NULL, false, 'http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope');
print_r($xml);
$ns = $xml->getNamespaces(true);
//print_r($ns);

foreach ($xml->children($ns['env']) as $body)
{
//printf("%s<br />", $body->getName());

foreach ($body->children($ns['ns1']) as $function)
{
printf("function %s()<br />", $function->getName());

foreach ($function->children() as $parameters)
{
printf("%s => \"%s\"<br />", $parameters->getName(), $parameters);
}
}

}

However when the XML string is coming from the database it does not work. The Field and table have a collation of "utf8_unicode_ci"

$soap_request_string = trim(str_replace(array("\n"), '', $record['SoapRequestEnvelope']));
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($soap_request_string, NULL, false, 'http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope');
print_r($xml);

The above code is supposed to print out the following (for me to proceed further):

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Body] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)
)

but only returns:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)

The XL string from the database looks exactly like this (after replacing new lines):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"; xmlns:ns1="urn:Gateway_Proxy" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:enc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding";><env:Body><ns1:make_proxy_payment env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding";><payment_id>5ce30dcc-7df7-04e8</payment_id><payment_amount>10</payment_amount><callback_query_string>&amp;payment_id=5ce30dcc-7df7-04e8</callback_query_string><transaction_note>Order from Student Library Fees with Payment Id: 5ce30dcc-7df7-04e8</transaction_note></ns1:make_proxy_payment></env:Body></env:Envelope>

I can't figure out whats wrong with the code. Any suggestions?

cheers,
Jeffery

Hi Jeffery,

If your having to much trouble with the simple XML parser then build
your own simple.
Here is a quick parser that pust the XML into a array
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);
xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $soap_request_string, $tags);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
$stack = array();
$elements = array();

foreach ( $tags as $tag ){
$index = count( $elements );
if ( $tag['type'] == "complete" || $tag['type'] == "open" ){
$elements[$index] = array();
$elements[$index]['name'] = $tag['tag'];
$elements[$index]['attributes'] = $tag['attributes'];
$elements[$index]['content'] = $tag['value'];

if ( $tag['type'] == "open" ){ # push
$elements[$index]['children'] = array();
$stack[count($stack)] = &$elements;
$elements = &$elements[$index]['children'];
}
}
if ( $tag['type'] == "close" ){ # pop
$elements = &$stack[count($stack) - 1];
unset($stack[count($stack) - 1]);
}
}
print_r($elements);
