When I set $sales like so $sales = $response->xml->transactions the contents look like:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[transaction] => Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[transId] => 9999999999
[submitTimeUTC] => 2016-03-16T21:57:54Z
[submitTimeLocal] => 2016-03-16T14:57:54
[transactionStatus] => capturedPendingSettlement
[invoiceNumber] => 4b1008a87f5262f0c867
[firstName] => Foo
[lastName] => Bar
[accountType] => Visa
[accountNumber] => XXXX1414
[settleAmount] => 155.00
[marketType] => eCommerce
[product] => Card Not Present
)
[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[transId] =>
So ->transaction contains an array. But if I do this:
$sales = $response->xml->transactions->transaction;
foreach ($sales as $s) {
$list[]= $s->invoiceNumber;
}
$list contains
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => ac502c094fe1722ba100
)
[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => e2eb58351c87155e3720
)
[2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => 0bca2bb6d5a13e641b67
)
What am I doing wrong? Where are the SimpleXMLElement Objects coming from where I just expected the invoiceNumber string?
The reason you are getting the SimpleXMLElement type objects is because when you are doing $list[]= $s->invoiceNumber; you are adding the element as it is. Since it is part of the SimpleXMLElement object it has that type internally. This comes up a lot when working with SimpleXML so its good to keep in mind.
As mentioned in the comments casting to a string will give you just the value:
$list[] = (string) $s->invoiceNumber;

I have a XML format file which has objects inside objects. This is how I get values of first object, which works fine for me:
$soapclient = new SoapClient('http://anywb/book.asmx?WSDL');
$params = array('ISBN' => "1111");
$response = $soapclient->GetBookByISBN($params);
//This will give me the value "Success"
$result = $response->GetBookByISBNResult->ResponseText;
Now my question is how to access the object which is inside object. For example, how to get "BookID" which is 4 and how to get value of "Type" which is 1?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Here is the object:
stdClass Object
(
[GetBookByISBN] => stdClass Object
(
[ResponseText] => Success
[SearchResult] => stdClass Object
(
[Search] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Date] => 2015-10-20
[BookID] => 4
[Discription] => stdClass Object
(
[Type] => 1
)
[Probability] => stdClass Object
(
[Kids] =>
[Adult] => 00
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[Date] => 2016-11-15
[BookID] => 5
[Discription] => stdClass Object
(
[Type] => 2
)
[Probability] => stdClass Object
(
[Kids] =>
[Adult] => 00
)
)
))))
You do it like this:
$response->GetBookByISBN->SearchResult->Search[0]->BookID;
$response->GetBookByISBN->SearchResult->Search[0]->Discription->Type;
If you would like to have an array containing all book ids you would have something like this:
$BookIDs = array();
foreach($response->GetBookByISBN->SearchResult->Search as $key => $value) {
$BookIDs[$key] = $value->BookID;
}
Or if you would like to be able to modify the values in $response using the $BookIDs (as an example) iot would look like this:
$BookIDs = array();
foreach($response->GetBookByISBN->SearchResult->Search as $key => $value) {
$BookIDs[$key] = &$value->BookID;
}
I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax to print:
[Agriculture] => AGR
[Animals] => AN
[Arts and Humanities] => ART
within the $TOPIC object.
What makes this a bit more confusing is that $TOPIC is in an object that can be called in a different order than this example. So instead of [3] => stdClass Object, it could be [4] => stdClass Object, (or any number).
Some sample foreach syntax is included below; it doesn't work though.
stdClass Object
(
[123456] => stdClass Object
(
[required_actions] => Array
(
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[maxlength] =>
[value] => $MESSAGE
[options_hash] =>
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[maxlength] =>
[value] => $NAME_PREFIX
[options_hash] => stdClass Object
(
[Ms.] => Ms.
[Mrs.] => Mrs.
[Mr.] => Mr.
)
)
[3] => stdClass Object
(
[maxlength] =>
[value] => $TOPIC
[options_hash] => stdClass Object
(
[Agriculture] => AGR
[Animals] => AN
[Arts and Humanities] => ART
)
)
)
)
)
foreach ($json->123456->required_actions as $info) {
echo $info->value => $TOPIC->options_hash;
}
The solution is to search for the parent object by value, and then request the child object's array. Here is what I used:
foreach ($json->123456->required_actions as $info) {
if ('$TOPIC' == $info->value) {
print_r($info->options_hash);
}
}

I need to sort the above array on the basis of key amount in descending order. But the problem is amount key exist under two different parent keys "zestimate" and "rentzestimate".
i have tried the following function but it did not work:
public function my_comparison($a, $b) {
if ($a->amount == $b->amount) {
return 0;
}
return ($a->amount < $b->amount) ? -1 : 1;
}
Any help?
Thanks in advance
response->results->result is an array of SimpleXMLElement objects. You want to sort the array based on the inner zestimate->amount property of the element in descending order.
You have to write a comparison function that accepts SimpleXMLElement objects and, because you want a descending order, returns 1 if the zestimate->amount property of the first object is less than that of the second, -1 if it's greater and 0 if it's equal:
public function my_comparison(SimpleXMLElement $a, SimpleXMLElement $b) {
if ($a->zestimate->amount == $b->zestimate->amount) {
return 0;
}
return ($a->zestimate->amount < $b->zestimate->amount) ? 1 : -1; // note the signs
}

I would like to loop through with my php loop and get "name' and "characterID". I've trying something like:
$simpleXML = simplexml_load_string($xml);
foreach ($simpleXML->result->rowset->row as $row) {
print_r($row);
$name = $row['#attributes']['name'];
echo $name.'<br>';
}
but $name is not being set. It's gonna be something simple, just not seeing it in my haste and first time with simpleXML.
Attributes are accessed using the syntax $element['attribute_name'], so in your case, you need $row['name'].
It's important to remember that SimpleXML objects are kind of magic - the $element->child, $element_list[0] and $element['foo'] syntax overloads the normal PHP logic to be useful. Similarly, (string)$element will give you the full textual content of an element, however it is broken up in the actual XML.
As such, the print_r output will not give you a "real" view of the object, so should be used with care. There are a couple of alternative debug functions I've written here which give a more accurate idea of how the object will behave.
I'm using the CloudFusion class to get Amazon.com data and my code is simple:
$items = $pas->item_search( "shoes", array(
"ResponseGroup" => "Small",
"SearchIndex" => "Blended" ));
$items = $items->body->Items;
echo "<pre>";
print_r( $items );
echo "</pre>";
This returns the following:
SimpleXMLElement Object (
[Request] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[IsValid] => True
[ItemSearchRequest] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Keywords] => shoes
[ResponseGroup] => Small
[SearchIndex] => Blended
)
)

What I'd like to do is get down to the "Item" level, then run a foreach to get each individual entry. I tried $items = $items->Item, but this returns only the first entry.
Any ideas?
First of all, you should avoid using print_r() on SimpleXMLElement, instead just take a look at the XML using asXML(). That's also what you should post here, instead of print_r()'s output.
I can't decipher the code you have posted so I'll take a wild guess and suggest that you try something like:
foreach ($items->body->Items->Item as $Item)
{
}
At any rate, if you want to iterate over something, foreach is the answer.
