noob - Parse an XML data stream and redirect browser accordingly

Hello,

I have some PHP code that sends webbased from data to an external url ( in the form of an XML data stream ) , and gets an XML data stream back.

I've got it displaying the stream via the browser ( using echo $req->getResponseBody(); ).
What I want to do is , instead of displaying the stream, is perform a query on it and redirect the browser to a specific page depending on the match or not.

Using this data (snippit):-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="webpage address" xmlnssi="webpage address" xmlnssd="webpage address">
- <soap:Body>
- <PerformMLCheckResponse xmlns="webpage">
- <CallResponse>
<AcrService>checking</AcrService>
<AcrSearchId>myid</AcrSearchId>
<AcrReference>refcode</AcrReference>
<AcrIntReference>externalcode</AcrIntReference>
<AcrExtReference>externalcode</AcrExtReference>
<AcrDateTime>2009-10-25T15:15:26.865625+00:00</AcrDateTime>
<AcrAccept>Y</AcrAccept>
<AcrFormatted>Y</AcrFormatted>
<AcrXmlDetail>Y</AcrXmlDetail>
- <AcrResponseDetail>
- <AcdElectoral>
<AerUsed>Y</AerUsed>
<AerValid>Y</AerValid>
<AerPafMatch>Y</AerPafMatch>
<AerForename>David</AerForename>
<AerOthernames />
<AerSurname>Brent</AerSurname>
- <AerAddress>
<AadAbode />
<AadBuilding>22</AadBuilding>
<AadStreet>test town</AadStreet>
<AadLocality />
<AadPostTown>test street</AadPostTown>
<AadPostcode>GU99 1AP</AadPostcode>
</AerAddress>
<AerStartDate>1996-10-28</AerStartDate>
<AerMonths>110</AerMonths>
<AerOptOut>Y</AerOptOut>
<AerPriorFlag>N</AerPriorFlag>
</AcdElectoral>
- <AcdCreditHistory>
<ChyUsed>Y</ChyUsed>
<ChyType>superuser</ChyType>

I thought I could use :-

$xmlresults = $req->getResponseBody();
$CallResponse = $xmlresults->CallResponse;
$AcdCreditHistory = $CallResponse->AcdCreditHistory;
$ChyType = $AcdCreditHistory->ChyType;

to load the data into a variable ( in this case "superuser" ) and then perform an "if ...Else" on that, but I'm new to PHP and a little lost.

Any ideas ? I'm I looking in the right area ?

Many thanks

getResponseBody probably just has the html data as a string. you would need to convert it into an object before you can search it.


however to know if the call to the object is right I would need to see the complete xml file, not just the part down to what data you want.

Thats great. Thank you
