PHP cURL - PARSE server response

I'm not a programmer, and i need your help please.

I have a cURL function that returns a server response - either success or error:

400 - Error Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><statusCode>400</statusCode>
<errorMessage>In order to be contacted, please enter a valid phone number.</errorMessage>

200 - Success Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<statusCode>200</statusCode>

I need to validate response based on 200 or 400 StatusCode.

If status is 200, proceed as normal.

If status is 400 (error) then I need to eztract the error messag (strip out all tags) and ECHO error message only (in the example above - In order to be contacted, please enter a valid phone number.)

How do I do it? Please help.

Thank you.

CURL Code:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

I am still not sure what exactly you are looking for but you can try:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if($httpCode == 400) {
  /* Handle 400 here. */
  echo "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
}


$header_size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
$header = substr($result , 0, $header_size);
$body = substr($result , $header_size);
 var_dump($header);
 var_dump($body);

curl_close($ch);

you are very welcome if any questions
