    <p>So i'm working on a php script which passes information to a server using Curl and the POST method and then takes back information from that server in the form of XML.I then want to take this information and parse it into a readable format for the user. </p> <p>I grab the information using curl and load it into a variable ($result) which i then want to load into simpleXML and store in the variable $routeinfo. However when I perform a var_dump($routeinfo) there doesn't appear to be any data stored. I've confirmed that there is data present in $result by echoing it. </p> <p>I also figured it may have been due to the XML not showing up in the browser when I echoed $result(but it is there if I check the source). Just to check though I used htmlentities but that causes a lot of errors because &lt; is interpreted as it's html equivalent. Anyway I've reached an impass and have logged quite a few hours implementing different suggestions to no avail. My code is below and I would appreciate any help that can be rendered.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php //retrieve form data in a variable $input = $_POST['stopNo'] ; //declare other variables needed $api_key = 'xxxkey' ; $api_id = 12345 ; $url = 'url to send data to' ; $querystring = "appID=". $api_id . "&amp;apiKey=" . $api_key . "&amp;stopNo" . $input ; $data = urlencode($url) ; //curl using $ch = curl_init() ; //set up curl curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'urlsendingdatato'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'appID='.urlencode($api_id).'&amp;apiKey=' .urlencode($api_key) . '&amp;stopNo=' .urlencode($input) ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0 ) ; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "UTF-8") ; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER , TRUE) ; //execute and gather info $result = curl_exec($ch) ; //close connection curl_close($ch) ; //format data //ent at the moment serves no purpose doesn't render the information correctly $ent = htmlentities($result); $routeinfo = new SimpleXMLElement($result) ; //print data echo "&lt;br&gt; $result &lt;br&gt;" ; var_dump($routeinfo) ; ?&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COAnother thing I've now tried is again loading the data straight from Curl(so $result) into simplexml_load_string($result) however when I do a dump_var or print_r on that it simply shows an empty array. However echoing $result by itself shows that there is data present.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
