xml_parse sudden error

Loneferret · April 26, 2008

Hey there, got this problem with xml_parse() all of a sudden.

Got a small script running, and all was fine until a month ago (perhaps 2).

Keep getting :

XML error: XML declaration not finished at line 1

The resource is an Amazon feed, so I know the xml generated is good.

Script itself has not been touched since conception.

The only thing that has changed is a server upgrade about 2 months ago I guess.

Running PHP Version 5.2.5 on Fedora 7

Hosted at godaddy ..

euh... what else can I say?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Ok.. hehe here's some more info..

If you want to see what I mean, here's a link to the page

that DID work a few months ago..

http://www.bindex.com/xmlsearch.php

This is the xmlsearch.php which is basically where one enters a query

Here's where the error comes up. It's a simple example that was taken

Since you are using php5, I would change to using the simplexml functions.
