I'm struggiling to access the return, I've tried the following but it doesn't return anything:
foreach ($xml->REQUEST->MB01 as $requestData) {
echo $requestData;
}
My other problem is depending on the vehicle reg it will return different MB blocks, is there away to return them if they are returned.
Thanks.
EDIT
This is the full code that I'm running, when it's ran all I get is < Does this mean anything?
$ch = curl_init($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MUTE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output[0]['REQUEST']['MB01']['DATEOFTRANSACTION'];
Cheers guys.

The return is an array, not an object. Try this :
foreach ($xml['REQUEST']['MB01'] as $requestData) {
if(is_array($requestData) {
print_r($requestData);
} else {
echo $requestData;
}
}
