Parsing XML response from CURL - confused

Using CURL, I send an xml file to a server and receive a 200 response and reciprocal XML file from said server.

$response = curl_exec($session);

So far so good. If I do print_r($response) I see that the url i need is indeed inside $response.

The question i have is how do i parse it out? I try开发者_StackOverflow中文版 variations of the following but nothing seems to work:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);

Pointer in the right direction would be great.

Thanks!

You need to set the right curl options. It looks like the header information is being included in the response data, which of course makes the response invalid XML. You can see the curl options here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

You'll want to turn off including the headers like this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

You need use the following structure:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
echo $xml->movie[0]->plot;

//Or
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

Where movie is a node from yor xml structure.
