Looking to parse some XML data that is saved in a DB. In the DB its saved in raw XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RESPONSE>
<SUCCESS>true</SUCCESS>
<ERRORMESSAGE>
</ERRORMESSAGE>
<DATA>
</DATA>
</RESPONSE>
I want to be able to parse this data, and have found people normally using:
$xmlstr = <<<XML RAW XML XML;
But how can I use a php string in there?
So e.g.
$xmlstr = <<<XML $stringfromDB XML;
Of course that does not work, but how can it be done? Thanks.
SimpleXML should do the trick for you. Check out this link, along with php manual basics.
$xmlData = /* query xml-data from DB as string */;
$xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($xmlData);
var_dump($xmlObj);
the <<<XML ...some code... XML; is just an alternative notation for declaring (multiline) strings, you don't have to do that, as long as you can obtain full XML document from DB as in your first snippet.
