The Source Code

This example uses PHP's cURL and DOM libraries to request and parse the XML.

requestXml($url)

This function uses cURL to request the XML. The resulting XML is returned as a String.

DOMDocument::loadXML($xml)

This function takes the XML String and parses it into a DOMDocument.

outputXml($xmlDoc)

This function uses the DOMDocument to access the XML as a DOM tree. Nodes of the tree are retrieved by name and looped through to output the form result's information.
