In addition, if it's still hard for you, then just save what URL returns to a temp file, then open that temp file as an XML file

Hi<br />
<br />
I have parsed XML in PHP before from standing XML files however the project I am working on at the moment requires something slightly different.<br />
<br />
The XML has to be retreived from a .exe file using a URL. The .exe is in the same directory as the php file.<br />
<br />
When the URL is called it responds with the XML.<br />
<br />
I dont know how to parse this in XML as the only knowledge I have of parsing XML is when it is stored in a .xml file.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any ideas if this can be done and if so how?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks,<br />
<br />
Daz

Parsing XML retrieved from URL

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
