Hello,
I've managed to recieve all messages from Ebay within the data range I specified with the call GetMemberMessages (GetMemberMessages - Version 507) but I have one problem left I really need help with.

Here is the code I used:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php   

include('functions.php');

include('variables.php');

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors', '1');

    //SiteID must also be set in the Request's XML

    //SiteID = 0  (US) - UK = 3, Canada = 2, Australia = 15, ....

    //SiteID Indicates the eBay site to associate the call with

    $siteID = 0;

    //the call being made:

    $verb = 'GetMemberMessages';

    //Regulates versioning of the XML interface for the API

    $compatabilityLevel = 433;



    //get an array of strings containing the required headers

    $headers = buildEbayHeaders($devID, $appID, $certID, $compatabilityLevel, $siteID, $verb);



    // Time from and time to

    $time_from = date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s',strtotime("-10 days")).'.799Z';

    $time_to = date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s',strtotime("+ 1 day")).'.799Z';

    

    ///Build the request Xml string

    $requestXmlBody = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">';

    $requestXmlBody .= '<GetMemberMessagesRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">';

    $requestXmlBody .= "<RequesterCredentials><eBayAuthToken>$userToken</eBayAuthToken></RequesterCredentials>";

    $requestXmlBody .= "<MailMessageType>All</MailMessageType>";

    $requestXmlBody .= "<EndCreationTime>$time_to</EndCreationTime>";

    $requestXmlBody .= "<StartCreationTime>$time_from</StartCreationTime>";

    $requestXmlBody .= '</GetMemberMessagesRequest>';

    

    $responseXml = sendHttpRequest($requestXmlBody, $serverUrl, $headers);

    if(stristr($responseXml, 'HTTP 404') || $responseXml == '')

        die('<P>Error sending request');

    

    //Xml string is parsed and creates a DOM Document object

    $responseDoc = domxml_open_mem($responseXml);

    

    //get any error nodes

    $errors = $responseDoc->get_elements_by_tagname('Errors');

    

    //if there are error nodes

    if(count($errors) > 0)

    {

        echo '<P><B>eBay returned the following error(s):</B>';

        //display each error

        //Get error code, ShortMesaage and LongMessage

        $code = $errors[0]->get_elements_by_tagname('ErrorCode');

        $shortMsg = $errors[0]->get_elements_by_tagname('ShortMessage');

        $longMsg = $errors[0]->get_elements_by_tagname('LongMessage');

        //Display code and shortmessage

        echo '<P>', $code[0]->get_content(), ' : ', str_replace(">", "&gt;", str_replace("<", "&lt;", $shortMsg[0]->get_content()));

        //if there is a long message (ie ErrorLevel=1), display it

        if(count($longMsg) > 0)

            echo '<BR>', str_replace(">", "&gt;", str_replace("<", "&lt;", $longMsg[0]->get_content()));



    }

    else //no errors

    {

     //get results nodes

    $itemNodes = $responseDoc->get_elements_by_tagname('MemberMessage');

    

    foreach($itemNodes as $item){

    $message = $item->get_elements_by_tagname('MemberMessageExchange');

                {

                //display all the elements of each item

                foreach($item->child_nodes() as $itemChild)

        echo $itemChild->get_content();

        

            }

    

    

    }

    

    }

?>

The problem is that when I run that code I get all information back - everything - item numbers, emails, questions and everything else. I've no idea of how to select the information I want to use. That's what I really need help with.

I tried to use echo $itemChild->get_content('SenderEmail'); to get only the sender email but it didn't work, I still got everything back. I'm really greatful for any help I can get.

Thanks in advance,
