parsing a long string

Anon

Hi guys,

I have the following file and it is a one-big line:

<AuthentXML xmlns="http://xml.test.net/MessageSchema.xml" version="1.0"><header><tsoid>test</tsoid><ap
plication>DeliverReg</application><asid>y</asid><teid>00000-00-00</teid><timestamp>2002-03
-11T15:07:38Z</timestamp></header><body><result><data xmlns:dat="http://xml.test.net/CommonDataSchema.xml"><dat:
States>RedirectReceived+ParmsOK</dat:States></data><status><statusCode>3130</statusCode></status></result></body></AuthentXML>

How can I retrieve value which is stored between <statusCode> </statusCode>. 3130 in this case.

I don't want to use XML parsers, since it is only small xml file i need to parse!

Thank you for any suggestions you might have!

Use regular expressions. For example;

$str = 'your string';
$ret = preg_match("/<statusCode>.*<\/statusCode>/", $str, $matches);
print $matches[0];
