Pulling out values from a X-Backside-Transport containing xml from USPS api
I am trying to use the shipping calculator from the usps. I have the code working, but the response comes back with this X-Backside-Transport code and I cannot figure out how to pull the xml out and get just the rate.
Below is my code:
<?php $pounds = 10; $ounces = 2; $dest_zip = 29651; $originZip = 59759; //echo USPSParcelRate($weight,$dest_zip); function USPS($pounds, $ounces, $originZip, $destZip) { // This script was written by Mark Sanborn at http://www.marksanborn.net // If this script benefits you are your business please consider a donation // You can donate at http://www.marksanborn.net/donate. // ========== CHANGE THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR OWN =========== $username = '698URBAN7869'; // ========== CHANGE THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR OWN =========== $url = "http://Production.ShippingAPIs.com/ShippingAPI.dll"; $ch = curl_init(); // set the target url curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // parameters to post curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // You would want to actually build this xml using dimensions // and other attributes but this is a bare minimum request as // an example. $data = "API=RateV4&XML=<RateV4Request USERID=\"{$username}\"> <Revision>2</Revision> <Package ID=\"1ST\"> <Service>PRIORITY</Service> <ZipOrigination>{$originZip}</ZipOrigination> <ZipDestination>{$destZip}</ZipDestination> <Pounds>{$pounds}</Pounds> <Ounces>{$ounces}</Ounces> <Container /> <Size>REGULAR</Size> <Width>2</Width> <Length>1</Length> <Height>3</Height> <Girth>10</Girth> <Machinable>false</Machinable> </Package> </RateV4Request>"; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); $result = curl_exec ($ch); return $result; } var_dump( USPS(5, 1, '59759', '90210') ); ?>And this is the response that I get. The xml is in there but there is a bunch of string text that come before with the Background Transport.
