I am trying to use this: http://php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php to parse this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PaymentNotification xmlns="http://">
  <PaymentMethod>card</PaymentMethod>
<Hash>12345KKLS</Hash>
<Payments>
    <Payment>
      <PaymentID>709750ba-b9b6-44c4-9812</PaymentID>
      <Amount>70</Amount>
      <Currency>USD</Currency>
      <Date>2011-05-11T07:41:44.957</Date>
      <StatusID>4</StatusID>
    </Payment>
    <Payment>
      <PaymentID>e0c66bae-c423-43c6-b896</PaymentID>
      <Amount>50</Amount>
      <Currency>USD</Currency>
      <Date>2011-05-11T07:42:13.55</Date>
      <StatusID>2</StatusID>
    </Payment>
  </Payments>
</PaymentNotification>

…but can’t work out which numbers to use. I only need to grab the payment ID where the statusID is 4 (for each one as could be 1 or more per xml message).

It’s very complicated http://php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php

Do you absolutely need to use that function? It’s a pretty ancient and convoluted way of accessing XML in PHP.
