Hi Stuart Thanks for the update.
I ended up using SimpleXmlElement to retrieve the url then tokenized the url to obtain the id. // get the actual id from the response id. if (isset($response->sac_id)) { $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response->sac_id->saveXML()); $array = $xml->xpath('/id'); $idUrl = ''; foreach($array as $node) { $idUrl = $node; } $parts = explode('/', $idUrl); $pos = count($parts) - 1; $id = $parts[$pos]; } $response is an instance of SwordAppEntry. I noticed that the response->sac_id is an SimpleXmlElement object but for some reason xpath would not retrieve anything. I found passing the sac_id output to a new SimpleXMLElement fixed the problem. Not sure why. Cheers Hayden On 17/04/12 18:09, LEWIS Stuart wrote: > Hi Hayden, > > Unfortunately not - from a SWORD point of view, this is just a URL.
