extract XML tag content with PHP
I have a PHP script that extracts data from an XML and so far it only looks for tag attributes. How can I also extract the tag content?
XML
<test name="Example 1"> <status status="FAIL" starttime="20200501 09:36:52.452" endtime="20200501 09:37:07.159" critical="yes">Setup failed: Variable '${EMAIL_INPUT}' not found.</status> </test> PHP
foreach ($result->test as $result) { echo $result['name'], PHP_EOL; $endtime = $result->status; echo $endtime['starttime'], PHP_EOL; echo $endtime['endtime'], PHP_EOL; echo $endtime['status'], PHP_EOL; }
What I need is the text in-between the tags:
"Setup failed:Variable ‘${EMAIL_INPUT}’ not found."
Thanks
To get the contents of a node you can just cast node to string:
// I changed to `as $test` 'cause `as $result` // overwrites initial `$result` variable foreach ($result->test as $test) { $endtime = $test->status; $text = (string) $endtime; // Also `echo` will cast `$endtime` to string implicitly echo $text; }
