Convert SOAP XML response into PHP Array

Hi, I have to interact with a web service using PHP, XML and SOAP. I am getting a response from the web server but have limited XML and SOAP experience along with limited time. I know the solution should be relatively simple, just don't have the expertise. Web Service request is provided, just need help managing the response so I can make use of it in php. Will provide full code when project is awarded. simplified version of PHP based request is: $soapUrl = "[login to view URL]"; $xml_post_string = '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="[login to view URL]" xmlns:tem="[login to view URL]"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <tem:DownloadLP> <tem:userName>UN</tem:userName> <tem:password>PwD</tem:password> </tem:DownloadLP> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> '; $headers = array( "Content-type: text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"", "Accept: text/xml", "Cache-Control: no-cache", "Pragma: no-cache", "SOAPAction: [login to view URL]", "Content-length: ".strlen($xml_post_string), ); $url = $soapUrl; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); $response = curl_exec($ch); echo $response; A small snippet of the response is below, there are more fields but have included only a few for the example: <s:Envelope xmlns:s="[login to view URL]"> <s:Body> <DownloadLoadPlansResponse xmlns="[login to view URL]"> <DownloadLoadPlansResult xmlns:a="[login to view URL]" xmlns:i="[login to view URL]"> <a:AdditionalDetails i:nil="true"/> <a:IsSuccessful>true</a:IsSuccessful> <a:DataList> <a:DataObject> <a:Data> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;LXML messages="1" batchseq="80" created="2021.May.11 AD 10:50 AM"&gt; &lt;ShipperLoadPlan CreateDate="05/11/2021 10:48:33.075" ExecutionEvent="Accepted Load Modified" ExecutionEventID="AM"&gt;&lt;LoadNumber&gt;54310410&lt;/LoadNumber&gt;&lt;lLoadID&gt;54310410&lt;/lLoadID&gt;&lt;/ShipperLoadPlan&gt;&lt;/LXML&gt; </a:Data> <a:ID>3302</a:ID> </a:DataObject> <a:DataObject> <a:Data> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;LXML messages="1" batchseq="81" created="2021.May.11 AD 10:50 AM"&gt; &lt;ShipperLoadPlan CreateDate="05/12/2021 10:48:33.075" ExecutionEvent="Accepted Load Modified" ExecutionEventID="AM"&gt;&lt;LoadNumber&gt;54310411&lt;/LoadNumber&gt;&lt;lLoadID&gt;54310411&lt;/lLoadID&gt;&lt;/ShipperLoadPlan&gt;&lt;/LXML&gt; </a:Data> <a:ID>3302</a:ID> </a:DataObject> <a:DataObject> <a:Data> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;LXML messages="1" batchseq="82" created="2021.May.11 AD 10:50 AM"&gt; &lt;ShipperLoadPlan CreateDate="05/13/2021 10:48:33.075" ExecutionEvent="Accepted Load Modified" ExecutionEventID="AM"&gt;&lt;LoadNumber&gt;54310412&lt;/LoadNumber&gt;&lt;lLoadID&gt;54310412&lt;/lLoadID&gt;&lt;/ShipperLoadPlan&gt;&lt;/LXML&gt; </a:Data> <a:ID>3302</a:ID> </a:DataObject> </a:DataList> </DownloadLoadPlansResult> </DownloadLoadPlansResponse> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>
