Reading XML streams |
[eluser]Dahak-II[/eluser]
This is more a general PHP programming issue, most likely... I'm re-writing a project that originally was processed as an ASP page. I need to get an XML stream into a variable. Seems simple enough sounding. My original local test setup had one script use CURL to post XML data to my CI controller. The target in the form of 'https://thissite.com/index.php/targetcontrollername' In the controller, I could read the posted XML with: Code: $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : file_get_contents("php://input"); // ensure the variable exists Even though the PHP 5 ini is configured to populate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, it winds up being unset. For my simpler purely local tests, the file_get_contents() call gets me my XML data, but is that the proper way to do so? When I tried to use the CI controller as a target for the existing remote site's test environment, I get no XML to my controller. What would be the most straightforward way to read an XML stream in a CI controller call?

I have no suggestions, sorry. I think it's time to start pulling the code to pieces and adding some echoes for debugging.

How about using PHP's simplexml. http://uk.php.net/simplexml Load the file like so: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.sim...d-file.php

What I am trying to determine is how to reliably read the XML stream from the page load, I am not trying to load the XML from a file.

I'm having trouble with this as well, did you find a resolution? |
