converting REST result to SOAP object

is there a easy way of converting an xml REST result to an object returned by a SOAP call? I know I can simply parse the REST and put it in a hash, curious if there's a method of doing this. simplexml_load_string() seems to give me simplexml objects inside my multi-level hash, which isn't really what I want. -- Anthony Ettinger Signature: http://chovy.dyndns.org/hcard.html
