Steam XML Question

[pengu]

Hey guys,

 

I'm working on a little image thingy.  What I want to do, is use a URL such as ,

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968575517/stats/L4D2/?xml=1

 

Grab data from it, put the into variables and create an image with the data.

 

I read the tutorial on this website and sort of got stuck.. with external XML files, ALSO this doesn't look like your normal XML file.

Here is the code I have thus far.. I got stuck at the 'playerstats' part..

 

<?php

$rss = new SimpleXMLElement('http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968575517/stats/L4D2/?xml=1', null, true);



foreach($rss->xpath('playerstats') as $item)

{

        echo <<<EOF

        <p> {$item->steamID64} <br />

        {$item->hoursPlayed} </p>



EOF;

}

?>

What does the XML look like?

[dreamwest]

$data = @file_get_contents("http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968575517/stats/L4D2/?xml=1");

$n_data = new SimpleXmlElement($data, LIBXML_NOCDATA);
		foreach ($n_data->playerstats->stats as $d) {
         echo $d->campaign;

//etc...
		}

Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

 

I'm missing something..?

Got it using a different method.

 

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/' . $id . '/?xml=1');

echo $xml->steamID . "<br />";
