$client->responseData from NuSOAP wraps data in Envelope, is there a better way?

[s0me0ne]

I am using NuSOAP and $client->responseData and its giving me the data back in an envelope

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:NDFDgenByDayResponse xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org"><dwmlByDayOut xsi:type="xsd:string">
.
.
.
</dwmlByDayOut></ns1:NDFDgenByDayResponse></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Now I know I could use XML to grab that data out of dwmlByDayOutand parse it with htmlspecialchars_decode(), but maybe there is a function that will do that for me in NuSOAP, saving me those 2 steps? Because doing namespaces in SimpleXML is a pain.
