Hello,
I am playing with an API from a company that makes a SOAP request and an XML response is sent back. I am not sure how to use/interpret the response and need some help. You can see the output here: http://www.leadliaison.com/test_hooversAPI.php.
The script is below, which dumps this output on the above link to the screen.
For now, I just want to print something simple like annual sales, which according to the providers API has the XML output parameters of: \return\resultSet\hit\company-results\finsales
<form method="post" action="test_hooversAPI.php">
<table border=0>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="methodName" value="FindCompanyByKeyword">FindCompanyByKeyword
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="methodName" value="AdvancedCompanySearch">AdvancedCompanySearch
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="methodName" value="GetCompanyDetail">GetCompanyDetail
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="methodName" value="GetAdvancedSearchLookups">GetAdvancedSearchLookups

</tr>
