How do you retrieve data?

How to extract substring.

Member Avatar for diafol

For this you could use regex or simpleXML or DOMdocument or another parsing class.

But if you just need to cut off the header:

$string ='HTTP/1.1 200 OK

                <DisplayName>SDP-Lite</DisplayName>
                <Category>RESIDENTIALSUBSCRIBER_R2</Category>';


preg_match("/(<soap-env:Envelope.*)/s",$string,$matches);
echo '<pre>' . htmlentities($matches[0]) . '</pre>';

The data you need will be in $matches[0] variable.

In addition, I asked that question because if you are using curl, just change the settings, like:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

and you will get just the XML part. Bye!
