Hi.
I have a PHP file that outputs as XML from a database. i have used the
header() function to output the correct header but when I use the
simplexml function it is trying to parse the php file itself and not
the output of the php file. I can't get my head round this. Can anyone
help me?
your running the simplexml function on the php file and not its output.
You are doing (something like) this:
$xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents("/www/html/foo.php");
You need to do something like this:
$xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents("http://ba.com/foo.php";);
Alternatively, if you don't want the PHP script to be visible on the web
server, make it executable (with a shebang) and then execute it and pass
the output to simplexml_load_string(). You know, using shell_exec() or
the backticks operator.
Note that simplexml_load_string() doesn't care about what type of file
you reported it as (with Content-Type or something). It only cares that
the string you pass it is XML. So if your script is the ONLY one that
will ever get this XML, you don't need to bother with the content type.
