I'm getting empty object attribute when i use simplexml_load_string

When I'm trying to use simplexml_load_string it returns an array of "SIMPLE XML objects" with some "Empty" object attributes. Actually those attributes are not empty in the real XML output!

Do you have any suggestions?

    $url = "widgets.sportsevents365.com/data/tickets/v2.0/events/?q=cq,0,$sportType,$numOfDays&page=$page&perpage=$perpage";

    $ch = curl_init();     
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER ,array('Contect-Type:text/xml','application/xml') );        
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "*****:*****");  
    $result = curl_exec($ch);  

    curl_close($ch);  


    $xmldata = simplexml_load_string($result);

    print_r( $xmldata );

From the comment...

im getting values inside <![CDATA[ , then the simplexml_load_string is removig them, so how to catch those values ?

You need to use the LIBXML_NOCDATA flag.

$xmldata = simplexml_load_string($result,LIBXML_NOCDATA);

Why to use LIBXML_NOCDATA ?

By using this flag it will merge the CDATA as text nodes.
