web services obs values 1

[kurie]

how do i return the value for a response in webservices, if i post a request through php's curl i get a value of 1 as response say
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, post_body);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); $xmlResponse = curl_exec($curl)
echo $xmlResponse.
i want to get the value for one particular value, my obs resopnse is like the one below. does anyone know how to get it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OBSResponse xmlns="

http://www.cointelwasp.co.za/obs.public.new/">

<ReferenceNumber><font class=value>int</font></ReferenceNumber>
<ResponseCode><font class=value>int</font></ResponseCode>
<ResponseString><font class=value>string</font></ResponseString>
<Success><font class=value>boolean</font></Success>
</OBSResponse></pre>

you need to tell curl to return the output to your variable.

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

here is my exact contruct is like the one below
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURL_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_body); // post the xml
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); // set timeout in seconds
$xmlResponse = curl_exec($curl);

what makes you think that this will work? i posted the solution at 05h58.

i thought true and 1 are the same, boolen values. Thanks very much

 

[jpadie]

they are the same.
but CURL_RETURNTRANSFER is NOT the same as CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER

 

[kurie]

didnt notice that. thanks very much
