want a variable from xml file

Are you willing to parse an XML file with PHP to get some variables?
If that's what you want to do, you need to use some XML API to parse the xml file.
For exemple you can check :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php

PHP is case sensitive... you need to replace line 13 with:

$obj = simplexml_load_string($xml);

Select allOpen in new window

..but otherwise, I'd say that's your best bet!

your code sample works using $xml variable
but what if the code is coming from another website.

how can I capture that data

Hello rgb192,

you did not tell that you want to capture data from another site...

But you can capture data using CURL for php

Following are some links from which you will get help for curl

Hope this will you.

Thank You.

how can I call this output $xml

function curl_download($Url){
 
    // is cURL installed yet?
    if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
        die('Sorry cURL is not installed!');
    }
 
    // OK cool - then let's create a new cURL resource handle
    $ch = curl_init();
 
    // Now set some options (most are optional)
 
    // Set URL to download
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
 
    // Set a referer
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.example.org/yay.htm");
 
    // User agent
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
 
    // Include header in result? (0 = yes, 1 = no)
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
 
    // Should cURL return or print out the data? (true = return, false = print)
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 
    // Timeout in seconds
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
 
    // Download the given URL, and return output
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
 
    // Close the cURL resource, and free system resources
    curl_close($ch);
 
    return $output;
}

Hello

you need to assign $output to $xml as following.

$xml = curl_download($Url);

Hope this will help you.

Thank You.

Regarding this: PHP is case sensitive...
True for variables.
$x != $X

False for class and function names.
SimpleXML_Load_String() == simplexml_LOAD_stRinG()

The script at ID:37379877 works perfectly.  I copied it, installed it and tested it here.

Outputs:
to = Tove
from = Jani
heading = Reminder
body = Don't forget me this weekend!

Best regards to all, ~Ray

this works for the question, thank you
