(PHP Extension) Load XML Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into an XML object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyXml method. Prior to v9.5.0.89, and application would need to first copy the HTTP response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object by calling GetBodySb, and then load the Xml object by calling Xml.LoadSb.

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

$http = new CkHttp();

// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->PText('GET','https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml','','','',false,false);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$xml = new CkXml();

// If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the XML from the HttpResponse to the Xml, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
// This could save memory for extremely large XML responses.
$resp->put_UncommonOptions('TakeResponseBody');

$resp->GetBodyXml($xml);

print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print '----' . "\n";
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";
