PHP check the response of the api

[alleks]

Hi, I am trying to check that if the response of the api contains something like

PHP Code:

<error>
<message>No Videos found!</message>
<code>####</code>
</error> 


To do a show_error() in codeigniter. I've tried it with preg_match but no success for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this but with no success

PHP Code:

if (preg_match('#<?xml version="1.0"  standalone="yes"?>\s*<error>\s*<message>(.*)</message>\s*<code>(.*)</code>\s*</error>#i', $videosJson));

for this

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0"  standalone="yes"?>
    <error>
        <message>No Videos found!</message>
        <code>2001</code>
    </error>

Ok I've managed to do it by doing this:

PHP Code:


if (strpos($videosJson, '<error>'))
            {
                preg_match('/<message>(.+?)<\/message>/', $videosJson, $match);
                show_error("<strong>$tag</strong>: $match[1]");
            }

As the returned error is a XML document, you could have parsed it with simplexml like this to get a object of the error:

$xml = simplexml_load_string($videosJson);
print_r($xml);

Oh cool, thanks till. I've never worked with xml till now so I didn't even bother on searching some function like json_decode for xml but seem that it's the one you just said.

But knowing that the solution I posted also works, I will keep that one for now.

Thanks again,
Alex
