Reading an XML Response

[wmaughan]

Ive taken on a payment integration proccess as a firt PHP project. I have everything working properly and proccessing, but am trying to receive the response message that comes from host... particularly the transaction id, and any error messages generated, which come in an xml format.

How do i read and display the data that comes between the following tags:

<nm_response>
<transaction>
<transaction_id>THIS IS WHAT I NEED</transaction_id>
.......
.......
</transaction>
</nm_response>

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of PHP are you using?

[wmaughan]

PHP Version 4.4.4

You probably have to try either the XML Parser Functions or the DOM XML Functions.

Thanks, I will explore those functions. Do you know how to reference a particular node, or child using those functions?
