simplexml_load_file

[alexus]

i have test.xml file that i pull from someone, and when i try to load
it up into php

I get this

mbp:cj alexus$ php api.php
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)
mbp:cj alexus$

this is my code

<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file ('test.xml');
print_r($xml);
?>

yet when I open test.xml in firefox it looks all good

so my question what am I doing wrong? how can I load it into php and
be able to parse it? also is there a way to see error code to see xml
wasn't loaded properly

[asismorodo]

take the space out from simplexml_load_file ('text.xml').... the
correct syntax is simplexml_load_file('test.xml');

if that is not the problem ... is the file local or remote? is the
file accesible to php?? what does

echo file_exists('text.xml');

return?

Post the source code for the page explorer returns. Sometimes arrays
will not show up correctly on explorer and you must view source to see
if you are getting an array back.

Example. in explorer you might see..
blue red yellow

when php is saying:

array(

[1]->blue
[2]->red
[3]->yellow

)

I my (short) experience with SimpleXML I've noticed that print_r() and
var_dump() don't always display the objects accurately. Try accessing
some piece of data. If you don't get any warning when calling
simplexml_load_file() I don't think there loading itself failed.

Also, feel free to post here a short version of your XML file so we can
have a look.

space is not a problem, and file is actually is local, if i use
different file (more simpler) it works

Right. The ":" in tags mean namespaces. Namespaces need a special
handling in SimpleXML. For instance:

<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file ('test.xml');
print_r($xml->children('soap', TRUE));
?>

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Body] =SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)

)

You can also set a namespace context and run an Xpath query:

# SimpleXMLElement->registerXPathNamespace — Creates a prefix/ns context
for the next XPath query
# SimpleXMLElement->xpath — Runs XPath query on XML data

Alternatively, there's a SOAP extension in PHP (but I've never used it,
I can't tell you whether it suits your needs):
