This gets info from http://www.ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=$ip&output=xml and i wish to save in an array called $ipinfo but still dunno howto use arrays in php and then get info from the xml file.

I have:

$ipinfo = file_get_contents("http://www.ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=$ip&output=xml");

from oni-kun and $ip is set at the beginning of the page working good. note: i don't need the IP to return from this page since i already have it.

 

Any help is appreciated

Use Google next time please. Many examples that work fine on the first page

Why not use their JSON API to save you parsing and extracting the XML data into an array; you could then just use json_decode and voila an array (or object if you want). Change the API URL to use output=json instead of output=xml.

erm what do i do about thse:

 

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /path/to/file/ipinfo.php on line 18

 

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=IPHERE&output=json) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /path/to/file/ipinfo.php on line 18

The error states that access to files using an URL is disabled in the config. Turn on (or set to 1) the allow_url_fopen  setting in your php.ini (details).

 

Were you not getting this error with the XML URL?
