I want to use XML API only (dont want to use /script/blah!blah!)

I think SimpleXML will work out!

But it seems to be a bit hard. Please tell me a way the get this data into a variable like.

$domain = xml_array(domain);
$email = xml_array(email);
$plan = xml_array(plan);

echo "

Account Information:

Domain: $domain
Email: $email
Plan: $plan

";

Guys Please help me to do something like this.....

Thanks in advance!

You are basically trying to parse XML. You can use PHP's XML parsing capability to parse whatever you need. Here is a simple example from PHP documentation

<?php
$simple = "<para><note>simple note</note></para>";
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $simple, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($p);
echo "Index array\n";
print_r($index);
echo "\nVals array\n";
print_r($vals);
?>

Look at the xml_parse function for a more elaborate example. More info is available in PHP documentation

Still i am a bit confused. Can you please format this code for me?

I have listed the xml in my thread

Thanks!

I think you're trying to parse the simpleXML incorrectly:

$result = simplexml_load_string($http_response)
print $result->result->rawout;

would print the rawout from the XML result. see http://us.php.net/simplexml for more info (look at the code examples)

Also, you might want to check out the XMLAPI php class I wrote which has most of this stuff already implemented in it: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=111897

Hello All,

Thank you.

I figured it out.

I used SimpleXML - It is quite simple!

Thanks again
