'Serialization of 'SimpleXMLElement' is not allowed Error insert in session xml value

php, serialization, simplexml, xml

Solution

may be try changing it to string before adding, like:

foreach ($xml->DATA as $entry){
    $code_travco = (string) $entry->attributes()->COUNTRY_CODE;
    $name_en =  (string) $entry->COUNTRY_NAME;
    $newdata = array(
        'code'  => $code_travco,
        'name_en'     =>  $name_en
    );
    $this->session->set_userdata($code_travco.'_nation_en', $newdata);      
 }

Problem

Hi all I have a site developed in codeigniter. I'm parsing an xml that I retrieve from a server and I want to put the return value into a session variable. But return me this error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Serialization of 'SimpleXMLElement' is not allowed My PHP version on my vps is: PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 This is my code: ``` $xml = new SimpleXMLElement(curl_exec($ch2)); $error2=curl_getinfo( $ch2, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE ); curl_close($ch2); foreach ($xml->DATA as $entry){ $code_travco = $entry->attributes()->COUNTRY_CODE; $name_en = $entry->COUNTRY_NAME; $newdata = array( 'code' => $code_travco, 'name_en' => $name_en ); $this->session->set_userdata($code_travco.'_nation_en', $newdata); } ```
