How to parse soap xml response in php and get the information from the string -

i have problem extracting information soap response. hte response get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>  - <soap:envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema"> - <soap:body> - <getinfofromsendingresponse xmlns="http://test.test.com/">   <getinfofromsendingresult>{"sendingid":"2468","subject":"test","id":"2468","campaignid":"890","forwardaddress":"test@test.ro","sendingtime":"1/14/2016 8:00:00 am","sendleadstoemail":"0","languageid":"6","leadstestmode":true,"webversionlink":"","language":"fr"}</getinfofromsendingresult>    </getinfofromsendingresponse>   </soap:body>   </soap:envelope> 

i need information getinfofromsendingresult , store in variable can use information.

example: change language of form based on "language" info provided in soap response. appreciated.

another possible solution use example simplexml. can register namespace , use xpath expression:

$source = <<<source <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <soap:envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema">     <soap:body>         <getinfofromsendingresponse xmlns="http://test.test.com/">             <getinfofromsendingresult>{"sendingid":"2468","subject":"test","id":"2468","campaignid":"890","forwardaddress":"test@test.ro","sendingtime":"1/14/2016 8:00:00 am","sendleadstoemail":"0","languageid":"6","leadstestmode":true,"webversionlink":"","language":"fr"}</getinfofromsendingresult>         </getinfofromsendingresponse>     </soap:body> </soap:envelope> source;  $xml = simplexml_load_string($source); $xml->registerxpathnamespace('test', 'http://test.test.com/'); $elements = $xml->xpath('//soap:envelope/soap:body/test:getinfofromsendingresponse/test:getinfofromsendingresult'); $result = json_decode($elements[0], true); print_r($result); 

will result in:

array (     [sendingid] => 2468     [subject] => test     [id] => 2468     [campaignid] => 890     [forwardaddress] => test@test.ro     [sendingtime] => 1/14/2016 8:00:00     [sendleadstoemail] => 0     [languageid] => 6     [leadstestmode] => 1     [webversionlink] =>      [language] => fr )
