Bellow code showing "Object of class DOMDocument could not be converted to string". How can i solve this issue.
$rs=$_SESSION['hotelavail_rs'];
// I have stored xml response in a session.
// xml response should be string type.
$str=(string)$rs;
$DOC = new DOMDocument();
$xml =new SimpleXMLElement($str);
$DOC->loadXML($str);
$Data = Parse($DOC->firstChild);
According to the docs for DOMDocument, you call saveXML() to dump the XML to a string.
I'm assuming the error is occurring on this line?
$str=(string)$rs;
In which case you should change it to,
$str = $rs->saveXML();
But since you seem to be loading it all back into a DOMDocument anyway, why not just do this?
$rs = $_SESSION['hotelavail_rs'];
$Data = Parse($rs->firstChild);
If the error is occurring later (In the Parse function for example) then a different solution will be required. It would be helpful to know the exact line on which the error is being thrown.
Note: None of the above is tested, I'm just going on what the docs say.
I see 2 potential problems. I say potential because I don't know what line the error is caused by.
var_dump($_SESSION['hotelavail_rs']); and make sure that it's a string and not a DOMDocument object. If it's not a string, that would cause a problem with the $str=(string)$rs; line.Parse() function. Is it expecting a DOMNode or a string? If it's expecting a string, that won't work as DOMDocument::firstNode returns a DOMNode object. Unfortunately, DOMDocument doesn't have a way to return a particular node and child nodes as a string.
DOMDocument object? Can you show me the line of code you're using to save the XML in the array? And by array do you mean the $_SESSION array?Parse function as I pointed on above. If that function expects a string, it won't work because $DOC->firstNode returns a DOMNode, not a string.
