SOAP Response Object Tree from XML String

[tbreuss]

In a project we have a SOAP Service with about 500 generated Classes that are described in a WSDL. We are using WsdlToPhp for generating the PHP services, enums and structs. Everything is working fine so far.

We are storing the SOAP response - the raw XML - in a database. From time to time we need the information from the SOAP response. Which brings me to my question:

Is it possible to get the PHP object tree instantiated by an XML string (from the database) and not from a SOAP service call?

The answer for the question is simply serialize/unserialize:

Serializing: Response Object from SOAP Call --> Serialize object --> Save string to database 
Unserializing: Read string from database --> Unserialize string --> Use SOAP Response Object

Although that may not have been the smartest question, we could leave the answer as it is for now.
