N-Bomb(Nerd) Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hello, I'm trying to use simplexml_load_file() in my php5 file and I'm getting the following errors: Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /****/htdocs/index.php5 on line 16 Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://*****.net/*****.xml) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /****/htdocs/index.php5 on line 16 Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://*****.net/*****.xml" in /****/htdocs/index.php5 on line 16 I tried looking for a solution myself and someone said that I should turn "allow_url_fopen" on in my .htaccess or php.ini, but wouldn't that cause some kind of security risk? What would be the best way to get simplexml to work for me? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157987-simplexml_load_file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 IF you can't get allow_url_fopen enabled, use cURL to grab the content them parse it. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157987-simplexml_load_file/#findComment-833346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Bomb(Nerd) Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 I've never really used cURL before.. how does one get the content without displaying the xml file I'm trying to read?

mikr Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 You'll want to use ob_start() and ob_get_clean() around curl_exec(). Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157987-simplexml_load_file/#findComment-833541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeia Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Described quite nicely on this page: http://ditio.net/2008/06/19/using-php-curl-to-read-rss-feed-xml/ Intended for RSS, but the first part explains how to use CURL with SimpleXML.
