Displaying returned XML in another PHP page

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

I have an online payment form that will return XML given if a payment is successful or declines. I am using PHP cURL to do this, and it all works from the standpoint of approving or denying transactions. However, what I want to do is have it redirect to a new page and display the output in a regular format (minus the XML brackets and such), but cannot get it to carry the data over from the processing page to the results page.

This is the tag I'm using in the processing page to direct when a payment is successful:

Header("Location: /Approved.php?approvalcode=" . $xdoc2->approvalcode . "");

Currently it is passing just the approval code in the URL, but I am going to expand on this after I get the page working properly. Let's say this is part of my XML response I get back when I hit the server and post all the values it is looking for:

[errorcode] => 0 [errordesc] => Successful. [responsecode] => 1 [response] => 1 - APPROVED [approvalcode] => 766251

What needs to be coded in the Approved.php page to ensure these values are captured and displayed? This is an HTTPS setup, and from what I've read $_SESSION probably isn't the way to go (unless I'm told otherwise here), and I do not at all want to use cookies unless I have no choice. I've tried echo statements and $_GET statements but nothing is working, and I know it's because I'm missing something but cannot figure out what.
