getting xml attributes php - php

I am trying to connect to an API system and it uses XML for communicate. When I try to get a request the API returns me a XML string like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:domain="http://epp.nic.ir/ns/domain-1.0">
<response xmlns:domain="http://epp.nic.ir/ns/domain-1.0">
<result code="1000">
<msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
</result>
<resData xmlns:domain="http://epp.nic.ir/ns/domain-1.0">
<domain:chkData xmlns:domain="http://epp.nic.ir/ns/domain-1.0">
<domain:cd>
<domain:name normalized_name="dasfasfgg" canonized_name="dasfasfgg" tld="ir" avail="1">dasfasfgg.ir</domain:name>
</domain:cd>
</domain:chkData>
</resData>
<trID>
<clTRID>TEST-12345</clTRID>
</trID>
</response>
</epp>
I want to get the avail attribute on the domain:name namespace. I tried this:
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
$attrs = $xml->domain->attributes();
but in returns an empty object. how can I get the attributes?

It's not the most elegant way but:
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response); // as response I understand given xml as string
$namespaces = $xml->getNamespaces(true);
$value = $xml->response->resData->children($namespaces['domain'])->chkData->cd->name->attributes()->avail[0];

php xml schema formatting

I have a php page what post's a xml to Heartinternet API and after a long time I have got it to work but now I cant find away to only pull only one part out of the replyed XML
$some_xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:package="http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/package-2.2">
<command>

</extension>
<clTRID>fac89208bea460fa3fef11b22a519cce</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>';
This is the code what is posted to the API. Full code can been seen here.
This is what I get back and can't figure out how to pull one line from the reply.
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:ext-package="http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/ext-package-2.2">

</epp>
The one line I need to show is ext-package:redirectURL.
If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction to find how to sort this I would be grateful!
You can get the redirect url by registering the namespace urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 and then you could use an xpath expression for example. In this case, I have chosen u as the prefix.
/u:epp/u:response/u:resData/ext-package:redirectURL
Using SimpleXML with your returned xml:
The response xml from the comments is slightly different. This is the updated code:
$returned_xml->registerXPathNamespace('u', 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0');
$returned_xml->registerXPathNamespace('ext-package', 'http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/ext-package-2.2');
$redirectUrl = $returned_xml->xpath('/u:epp/u:response/u:resData/ext-package:redirectURL');
echo $redirectUrl[0];
Or with DOMDocument:
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML(file_get_contents("https://custom-hosting.co.uk/source/test.php"));
$xpath = new DOMXpath($doc);
$xpath->registerNamespace('u', 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0');
$xpath->registerNamespace('ext-package', 'http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/ext-package-2.2');
$redirectUrl = $xpath->query('/u:epp/u:response/u:resData/ext-package:redirectURL')->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo $redirectUrl;
That will give you for example:
http://bobcp.example.org/sso.cgi?session=LUB9UNbw6jTW
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:ext-package="http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/ext-package-2.2">
<response>
<result code='1000'>
<msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
</result>
<resData>
<ext-package:redirectURL>http://bobcp.example.org/sso.cgi?session=LUB9UNbw6jTW</ext-package:redirectURL>
</resData>
<trID>
<clTRID>fac89208bea460fa3fef11b22a519cce</clTRID>
<svTRID>test-19272326601ef4c3bf6b64730d09c6cf</svTRID>
</trID>
</response>
</epp>
that is what i get sent back from the API its not in my test page at all
Full page source
if i add
$xml = simplexml_load_string($returned_xml);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace('u', 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0');
$redirectUrl = $xml->xpath('/u:epp/u:response/u:resData/ext-package:redirectURL');
echo $redirectUrl[0];
to the page i just get

XML Changing value of namespace property

I need to change a value of a nested namespace property within a XML document before I submit it to an EPP service.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
<command>
<info>
<host:info xmlns:host="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0 host-1.0.xsd">
<host:name>ns1.example.test.example.com</host:name>
</host:info>
</info>
<clTRID>NORID-14373-1207137695427775</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>
In the above XML, I need to change the host:name elements value. I am using PHP simplexml_load_string to first modify the values from the XML schema as shown below.
$xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($fn));
$xml->command->clTRID = GUID(); // This works perfectly
$xml->command->info->name = 'somename'; // Does not work :)
What is the correct way to do this?
Use the following code
Note I am echoing the data for your reference as how to use it
echo $xml->command->info->children('host', true)->info->name;
Total simple code which I tried
$xmls = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
<command>
<info>
<host:info xmlns:host="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0 host-1.0.xsd">
<host:name>ns1.example.test.example.com</host:name>
</host:info>
</info>
<clTRID>NORID-14373-1207137695427775</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmls);
$xml->command->clTRID = 'something'; // This works perfectly
echo $xml->command->info->children('host', true)->info->name;
$xml->command->info->children('host', true)->info->name = 'some new name';
echo $xml->command->info->children('host', true)->info->name;

How to parse XML-file to array and retrieve all children of an child with specific attribute in PHP?

my XML-file is as follows: agents.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agents>
<agent id="1">
<aname>pi1</aname>
<alive>0</alive>
<scenarios>1,2,3</scenarios>
</agent>
<agent id="2">
<aname>pi2</aname>
<alive>1</alive>
<scenarios>4,5,6</scenarios>
</agent>
</agents>
I want to retrieve all child elements of an agent, selected by attribute value "id". I tried the following, passing a the variable "id" to the script:
$agents_xml = simplexml_load_file("/<path_to>/agents.xml");
$json = json_encode($agents_xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
//decrement id for correct index
$id=$id-1;
//I want to return in JSON format
$testarr=json_encode($array['agent'][$id]);
echo $testarr;
When "id" has value 1, i got this:
{"#attributes":{"id":"1"},"aname":"pi1","alive":"0","scenarios":"1,2,3"}
But i know, if the XML is disordered like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agents>
<agent id="2">
<aname>pi2</aname>
<alive>1</alive>
<scenarios>4,5,6</scenarios>
</agent>
<agent id="1">
<aname>pi1</aname>
<alive>0</alive>
<scenarios>1,2,3</scenarios>
</agent>
</agents>
This is not very reliable.
Thanks for any idea!
Try
$str = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agents>
<agent id="1">
<aname>pi1</aname>
<alive>0</alive>
<scenarios>1,2,3</scenarios>
</agent>
<agent id="2">
<aname>pi2</aname>
<alive>1</alive>
<scenarios>4,5,6</scenarios>
</agent>
</agents>
XML;
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($str);
foreach($xml->agent as $agent)
{
var_dump($agent);
echo "<hr>";
}

Pass data from Array to XML and save to variable

I have an array $data = array ( 'name' => 'makis', 'pw' => 'sovara') and i need to fill in an XML file using those values and then save that XML into a temporary variable.
For example the XML is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0
epp-1.0.xsd">
<command>
<login>
<clID>['name']</clID>
<pw>['pw']</pw>
<options>
<version>1.0</version>
<lang>en</lang>
</options>
<svcs>
<objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:host-1.0</objURI>
<objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0</objURI>
<objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0</objURI>
</svcs>
</login>
<clTRID>nick-12345</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>
How can i do that in php?
You can use simplexml:
$xml = simplexml_load_file('path/to/file');
// $xml is object that represents <epp> root node
$xml->command->login->clID = $data['name'];
$xml->command->login->pw = $data['pw'];
$xml->asXML('new/file/path'); // save to new file

If you can't already tell, it's the standard output of the Zillow API. I want to store the data of information stored between certain tags, which I have learned is queried through the xpath.
For example, how would I query for the data in /SearchResults:searchresults/request/address? Doing something like this doesn't work when I echo/print the variable:
$xml = simplexml_load_file("-truncated XML URL-");
$result = $xml->xpath('/SearchResults:searchresults/request/address')
From what I understand, the $result variable should contain the value found nested in that %VALUE HERE%, correct? But it prints "Array", and when I print_r, it returns blank.
Here's a simple way to get that information:
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");
echo $xml->request->address;
?>
You need to use the full namespace not the short name.
Use http://simplepie.org
$xml = "yourxml code here";
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_raw_data($xml);
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();
echo $feed->get_adress();
