Hello Richard,
Thank you for your reply. Unforetunately this didn't work for me. all I
get is the xml braket "<" when I try to evaluate a value. The issue here
is that I am trying to modify the code to a plugin that doesn't print
directly to screen, however, it has a logging mechanism and I can use
this to view the variables. I use $vmLogger->() or similar funcitons to
output what I need to view. When I do $vmLogger->err($results), I get
the xml I am expecting printed out. But when I try to evaluate each node
and extract the data, I get the bracket "<". Now, I don't understand why am I getting
this ? And what is the way around ? what am I doing wrong ?
to correct the code I posted, I am using :
result = $client->__soupCall('getAuth' , $wsdl_url) ;
print_r($result);
customer = $result['custName'] ;
Thank you in advance.
