Quickbooks QBXML Helper
=======================

[](#quickbooks-qbxml-helper)

This is a simple set of classes to assist in parsing and creating QBXML for communicating with Quickbooks Desktop (probably through the Quickbooks Web Connector). A lot of this is based on [Keith Palmer's prior work](https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php). My take on it lets you integrate your own application logic - this library just deals with the QBXML parsing. This also adds namespacing, method chaining, and fixes a number of bugs and inconsistencies in Keith's work.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Parsing

[](#parsing)

Reading a QBXML response might look something like this:

```
$doc = (new \TheLogicStudio\QBXML\XML\Parser($response))->parse($errnum, $errmsg);
$root = $doc->getRoot();
$out = [];
foreach($root->getChildAt('QBXML QBXMLMsgsRs')->children() as $child) {
    if(str_ends_with($child->name(), 'QueryRs')) {
        /** @var Models\GenericObject $class */
        $class = '\\TheLogicStudio\\QBXML\\Models\\'.substr($child->name(), 0, -7);
        foreach($child->children() as $node) {
            $out[] = $class::fromXML($node);
        }
    }
}

```

### Creating

[](#creating)

And creating a request to send to Quickbooks might look like this:

```
$qbxml = (new \TheLogicStudio\QBXML\Models\Account())
    ->setName('My Account')
    ->setAccountNumber(99)
    ->asQBXML('AccountAddRq');

```
