PHP performing on XML response

[kaidine]

I send off this:

PHP Code:

<?php
    $data = "<egateway>
            <eCardExpiryMonth>01</eCardExpiryMonth>
            <eCardExpiryYear>04</eCardExpiryYear>
            <eCardHoldersName>Joe Bloke</eCardHoldersName>
            <eCardNumber>4444333322221111</eCardNumber>
            <eCVN>123</eCVN>
            <eTotalAmount>100</eTotalAmount>
        </egateway>
        ";
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $edata);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/gateway_cvn/testpage.asp");
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
?>

In return, I get the following XML:

<eResponse>
	<eTrxnStatus>True</eTrxnStatus>
	<eTrxnNumber>20219</eTrxnNumber>
	<eAuthCode>123456</eAuthCode>
	<eReturnAmount>100</eReturnAmount>
	<eTrxnError>00,Transaction Approved(Test CVN Gateway)</eTrxnError>
</eResponse>

Is there a way to make it so this does not show, and instead I can make PHP do something like:

if (eTrxnStatus == True) {// do stuff};

?

I'm using:

PHP Code:

$response = simplexml_load_string(curl_exec($ch));
    if ($response -> eTrxnStatus == 'True') {
        echo "True 1111111111111.";
    } 


... but getting these errors:

PHP Warning:
simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
simplexml_load_string(): 1
simplexml_load_string(): ^

PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object

The response code I am getting back in XML is:

<eResponse><eTrxnStatus>True</eTrxnStatus><eTrxnNumber>11673</eTrxnNumber><eTrxnReference/><eReturnAmount>100</eReturnAmount><eTrxnError>00,Transaction Approved(Test CVN Gateway)</eTrxnError></eResponse>

What could be causing this? I can't make any sense of it at all!

I solved the problem with:

PHP Code:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
