Hi.
I'm taking my first steps with xml and SimpleXML functions.
xml.php
(It could be made dynamically with a mysql result
I post this snippet for example )
<?php
$xmlstr = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" standalone=\"yes\"?>";
$xmlstr .= "<movies>\n<movie>Behind the Parser</movie>\n</movies>\n";
header('Content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');
echo $xmlstr;
?>
and the loadXml.php
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('xml.php');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
I've got this nasty error :
Warning: xml.php:2: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in f:\wamp\www\xml\example\mioplot.php on line 3
Warning: $xmlstr = ""; in c:\xxx\www\xml\example\loadXml.php on line 3
Warning: ^ in c:\xxx\www\xml\example\loadXml.php on line 3
bool(false)
xml.php is a valid xml file, isn't it ?
Therefore I'm wondering why the snippet
doesn't work ?
Thanks in advance.
Bye.A file read from the local file system will not run through the PHP parser -- you'll just read the full source code. Try using a URL reference to it, instead, and see if that helps:
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://localhost/xml.php');
(Adjust the URL path as needed if xml.php is not in the document root directory.)Thanks so much for the ready replay.
I've got this:

Excuse me, for the italian
the loadPhp file:
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://localhost/test/xmlLoad/xml.php');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
Thanks again for your help.
Bye.I also tried to put it
in my host I've got the
same error :
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: xml.php:2: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /mounted-storage/home19a/sub001/sc19485-LOWM/www/xmlLoad/loadPhp.php5 on line 3

If I try with a xml file no troubles
both in my localhost and in my host:
<?php
if (file_exists('articles.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('articles.xml');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
Bye.What is the result of
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = get_file_contents('http://localhost/test/xmlLoad/xml.php');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
} ?What is the result of
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = get_file_contents('http://localhost/test/xmlLoad/xml.php');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
} ?
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in f:\xmlLoad\loadPhp.php on line 11
In my php.ini
allow_url_fopen = On
It works in my host.
But if I try with:
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$string= file_get_contents('http://www.blogial.net/test/xml.php');
$xml = simplexml_load_file($string);
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}

Thanks you buddy now it works.
PS.
I'm wondering why this does't work :
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 2: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /www/test/loadPhp.php on line 5
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: $xmlstr="<?xml version=\"1.0\" standalone=\"yes\"?>"; in /www/test/loadPhp.php on line 5
As the error message says, there is no start tag in your XML string. Not even the '<' that starts the start tag. The only thing that is there is the XML declaration.Sorry in the last post I made a mistake.
This works:
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.blogial.net/ua/xml.php'));
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
This doesn't work:
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('xml.php'));
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
I can't see the different.
Could you explain me ?
Thanks in advance.
Bye.Try comparing the results of these:
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = file_get_contents('http://www.blogial.net/ua/xml.php');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
<?php
if (file_exists('xml.php')) {
$xml = file_get_contents('xml.php');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
And remember the difference between a filename and a URL.Thanks so much buddy.
Now I got it.
Looking at this post what a mess
but it was very useful.
