How to capture XML data using PHP?

[smartcard]

I am currently testing a desktop application which is sending some data to a web URL in XML format, for some reason this data seems to be not sent in the correct format.

I need to know if there are any website or script that I can use to troubleshoot this issue, for example I can point and send my test data to a website or script that can the data coming from my application, so that I can trouble shoot it.

xmllint does a great job if you're using linux

Otherwise save the text as something.xml and open it with the browser.

In the example you have some tags that are never closed: Company ConfNr Phone

Checkout Fiddler and/or SoapUI.

Thanks for suggesting xmllint, yes I use Linux web server, but how can I capture the data to xmllint?

Yes, the tags is something I don't know how to solve, because these two tags are for extracting the data from the Desktop application

Check the first comment here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.domxml-open-mem.php

It shows how to capture the error in PHP.

The tags should be encoded if you want them in the text with < >
