[SOLVED] No Error and No Output?

[Beasts]

hi,

i am using simplexml to load data from an xml file.

my php code is as follows :

				$xmldx = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('htmldata.xml'));
				$page = $xmldx->pages->home;
				echo($page);

 

simplexml_load_file() doesn't work either...

 

the xml is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<pages>
<home>
asdasd
	<![CDATA[
                      <h1>THIS IS THE HOMEPAGE</h1>
	]]>
</home>
</pages>

 

my php settings are set to display all errors...

this code gives no error and no output?

What does a phpinfo() statement show for error_reporting and display_errors and what are you getting as output? A blank page? Does any other output on the page show up? Is your code inside of a conditional statement that is FALSE?

[Beasts]

all error reporting works fine... all kinds of errors show...

 

its inside the default: of a switch statement... so whatever the variable is this should produce output?

 

output is NOTHING

nothing in error logs either...

Use this (the pages tag is the document root tag and are not referenced to access the tags within it) -

 

$page = $xmldx->home;

 

Edit: It often helps to print out the xml object (at any level you are currently accessing it at) to see what it contains -

 

echo "<pre>",print_r($xmldx,true),"</pre>";
