How to parse soap xml response in php and get the information from the string

i have some problem extracting the information from a SOAP response. This is hte response I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
- <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
- <soap:Body>
- <GetInfoFromSendingResponse xmlns="http://test.test.com/">
  <GetInfoFromSendingResult>{"SendingID":"2468","Subject":"Test","ID":"2468","CampaignID":"890","ForwardAddress":"[email protected]","SendingTime":"1/14/2016 8:00:00 AM","SendLeadsToEmail":"0","LanguageID":"6","LeadsTestMode":true,"WebversionLink":"","Language":"FR"}</GetInfoFromSendingResult> 
  </GetInfoFromSendingResponse>
  </soap:Body>
  </soap:Envelope>

I need the information from GetInfoFromSendingResult and store that in a variable so I can then use that information.

Example: Change the language of a form based on the "Language" info provided in the SOAP response. Any help is appreciated.

Another possible solution is to use for example SimpleXML. You can register the namespace and use an xpath expression:

$source = <<<SOURCE
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <soap:Body>
        <GetInfoFromSendingResponse xmlns="http://test.test.com/">
            <GetInfoFromSendingResult>{"SendingID":"2468","Subject":"Test","ID":"2468","CampaignID":"890","ForwardAddress":"[email protected]","SendingTime":"1/14/2016 8:00:00 AM","SendLeadsToEmail":"0","LanguageID":"6","LeadsTestMode":true,"WebversionLink":"","Language":"FR"}</GetInfoFromSendingResult>
        </GetInfoFromSendingResponse>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
SOURCE;

$xml = simplexml_load_string($source);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace('test', 'http://test.test.com/');
$elements = $xml->xpath('//soap:Envelope/soap:Body/test:GetInfoFromSendingResponse/test:GetInfoFromSendingResult');
$result = json_decode($elements[0], true);
print_r($result);

Will result in:

Array
(
    [SendingID] => 2468
    [Subject] => Test
    [ID] => 2468
    [CampaignID] => 890
    [ForwardAddress] => [email protected]
    [SendingTime] => 1/14/2016 8:00:00 AM
    [SendLeadsToEmail] => 0
    [LanguageID] => 6
    [LeadsTestMode] => 1
    [WebversionLink] => 
    [Language] => FR
)

You can use SoapClient comes with PHP 5.0+ versions

$client = new SoapClient("http://test.test.com/?wsdl");
$res = $client->SoapFunction(array('param1'=>'value','param2'=>'value'));
echo $res->GetInfoFromSendingResponse->GetInfoFromSendingResult;

Then you might need JSON decoding to get some specific value in it.
