Hello,
I am trying to use longurl.org to reverse a bunch of tiny links
Code:
$urlLink = $somePassedURLthroughFunction;
$fileProxURL = "http://api.longurl.org/v1/expand?url=$urlLink";
$data = file_get_contents($fileProxURL);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
foreach($xml as $item)
{
print_r($item);
}
and getting back
Code:
<response>
<long_url><![CDATA[http://bit.ly/dotym]]></long_url>
</response>
How do I fetch the <log_url> value? OR a better question, in PHP what is going on with that?
Why is that <CDATA tag and how do I handle it?
