Ron - the parse_data.php file is the second code example under the "Understanding the XML Output" section. Click on the "Run this Example" link to see the sample output or copy the code from the box to try it yourself.

I have been reading your parsing of the NWS NDFD. I downloaded nuSOAP 0.9.5. I cannot find parse_data.php in your code examples. Am I missing something? I really to learn this. Thank you for any assistance.

Harry - something is happening when you unserialize it I'm guessing.

From the manual page: "In case the passed string is not unserializeable, FALSE is returned and E_NOTICE is issued."

Try enabling E_NOTICE in your error reporting to see if that is the issue.

Roch - can you provide an example?

Has anyone had their XML come back with no brackets?? That’s happening to me now and I don’t know how to fix it!

ohh, that is probably confusing.
the examples don’t have file names so it is difficult to reference them.
comes from here var_dump($times)
/* loop through the time-layouts in the XML */
foreach ($xml->xpath(‘//time-layout’) as $field => $value)
{
/* get the layout-key to make it the array key value */
$layout = (string)$value->{‘layout-key’};

$times[$layout] = array(‘start’ => get_values($value->xpath(‘start-valid-time’)),
‘end’ => get_values($value->xpath(‘end-valid-time’)));
}

header(‘Content-type: text/plain’);
var_dump($times)<—-
