[SOLVED] PHP --> XML - Extra content at the end of the document error

[Kane250]

Hi,

 

I'm fairly new to XML in general, and especially to creating it dynamically with PHP, but here goes my problem.

 

I made a PHP script that generates a new XML document for a swf file I'm using when it is executed.  On my own hosting it works fine.  I have now moved it onto the hosting in which it is going to actually be used on, and I am getting the following error:  "error on line 2 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document".  Can anyone take a look at this very lengthy code and see if something pops out that would be causing this?  I thought perhaps their hosting was not running PHP 5, but it is, so i have no idea now.  How can it work fine on one server and not work on another?

 

<?php
$amounttoshow = 25; 
$amounttoshow = $amounttoshow + 1;   //Add 1 so our for loop will stop at the right place

//Define paths
$pathoptions = array("/", "/new");
//$randompath = "/";

//Create array of old job numbers
$oldnumbers = file_get_contents('old.txt');
$oldnumbers = array_map('trim', explode(',', $oldnumbers));

//Create array of new job numbers
$newnumbers = file_get_contents('new.txt'); 
$newnumbers = array_map('trim', explode(',', $newnumbers));

// create xml doctype
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");

// display document in browser as plain text (for testing purposes!)
//header("Content-Type: text/plain");

Can you attach old.txt and new.txt

[Kane250]

sure!  They are just numbers I'm pulling into an array.

Was anyone able to come up with anything by chance?
