"php - converting xml to array in php - parsing a soap xml in php and storing it in database" Code Answer

The best solution would be to use PHP's SoapClient class to do the call which will return you an object and then converting this object to an array, like so:

<?php
$client = new SoapClient("http://localhost/code/soap.wsdl");

// Soap call with HelloWorld() method
$something =  $client->HelloWorld(array('option1' => 'attribute1'));

// Convert object to array
$array = (array)$something;

?>

Which you can then store in the database.
