  1. PODisplay XML as response in PHP with eBay API
    text
    copied!<p>Following <a href="http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/HowTo/GettingStarted_PHP_XML_XML/GettingStarted_PHP_XML_XML.html#step3" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a> shows how to display data as HTML based on that I just need to show response of XML as opposed to parsing it. I have tried to find solution but didn't have any luck. Any help will be appreciated.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $endpoint = 'http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1'; // URL to call $query = 'iphone'; // Supply your own query keywords as needed // Construct the findItemsByKeywords POST call // Load the call and capture the response returned by the eBay API // The constructCallAndGetResponse function is defined below $resp = simplexml_load_string(constructPostCallAndGetResponse($endpoint, $query)); // Check to see if the call was successful, else print an error if ($resp-&gt;ack == "Success") { $results = ''; // Initialize the $results variable // Parse the desired information from the response foreach($resp-&gt;searchResult-&gt;item as $item) { $link = $item-&gt;viewItemURL; $title = $item-&gt;title; // Build the desired HTML code for each searchResult.item node and append it to $results $results .= "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=\"$pic\"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href=\"$link\"&gt;$title&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; } } else { // If the response does not indicate 'Success,' print an error $results = "&lt;h3&gt;Oops! The request was not successful"; $results .= "AppID for the Production environment.&lt;/h3&gt;"; } function constructPostCallAndGetResponse($endpoint, $query) { global $xmlrequest; // Create the XML request to be POSTed $xmlrequest = "&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?&gt;\n"; $xmlrequest .= "&lt;findItemsByKeywordsRequest xmlns=\"http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/search/v1/services\"&gt;\n"; $xmlrequest .= "&lt;keywords&gt;"; $xmlrequest .= $query; $xmlrequest .= "&lt;/keywords&gt;\n"; $xmlrequest .= "&lt;paginationInput&gt;\n &lt;entriesPerPage&gt;3&lt;/entriesPerPage&gt;\n&lt;/paginationInput&gt;\n"; $xmlrequest .= "&lt;/findItemsByKeywordsRequest&gt;"; // Set up the HTTP headers $headers = array( 'X-EBAY-SOA-OPERATION-NAME: findItemsByKeywords', 'X-EBAY-SOA-SERVICE-VERSION: 1.3.0', 'X-EBAY-SOA-REQUEST-DATA-FORMAT: XML', 'X-EBAY-SOA-GLOBAL-ID: EBAY-GB', 'X-EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-APPNAME: ******', 'Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8', ); $session = curl_init($endpoint); // create a curl session curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POST, true); // POST request type curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); // set headers using $headers array curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlrequest); // set the body of the POST curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // $responsexml = curl_exec($session); // send the request curl_close($session); // close the session return $responsexml; // returns a string } // End of constructPostCallAndGetResponse function ?&gt; </code></pre>
