Problems with createCustomerProfileFromTransactionRequest response with PHP

Jim88763563 — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:15:41 GMT

I can't read the XML response when using createCustomerProfileFromTransactionRequest

My Code . . .

    $content_Create_CIM =
                           "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>".
                           "<createCustomerProfileFromTransactionRequest xmlns=\"AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/".
                           "AnetApiSchema.xsd\">".
                           "<merchantAuthentication>".
                           "<name>". $loginname . "</name>".
                           "<transactionKey>" . $transactionkey . "</transactionKey>".
                           "</merchantAuthentication>".
                           "<transId>" . $transID . "</transId>".
                           "</createCustomerProfileFromTransactionRequest>";

$response = send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content_Create_CIM);

The CIM profile is created but I can't parse the response.

When I try . . .

$xml=simplexml_load_string($response);

I get . . .

Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /home/XXXXXXXX on line 99 Warning: simplexml_load_string(): HTTP/1.1 200 OK in /home/XXXXXXXX on line 99 Warning: simplexml_load_string(): ^ in /home/XXXXXXXX on line 99

What simple function can I use to parse this?

Thank you

Hi Jim88763563,

This is only a warning and a known issue with the PHP simpleXML library reads XML from a Microsoft server. The easiest way to directly address this is simply to suppress warnings when parsing the XML.

$xml = simplexml_load_string($response,'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOWARNING);

Thanks,

Joy

It took Eight days to get a response.

Is this normally how long it takes to get back to a customer?

This is a public forum and that not really a authorize.net issue but "known issue with the PHP simpleXML library reads XML from a Microsoft server. "
