getting xml problems

[clankill3r]

I want to gettwitter feeds,

this gives me a xml

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=fleuragemapvv&count=3

 

based on this:

http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_xml_simplexml.asp

 

i try to get the xml with:

<?php

$xml = simplexml_load_file("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=fleuragemapvv&count=3");

?>

 

i get this error:

Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=fleuragemapvv&count=3): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /home/vhosting/x/vhost0033377/domains/doekewartena.nl/htdocs/www/temp/twitter03.php on line 2 Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=fleuragemapvv&count=3" in /home/vhosting/x/vhost0033377/domains/doekewartena.nl/htdocs/www/temp/twitter03.php on line 2

 

i have no clue, i'm very new to php

can i even use simplexml_load_file cause it has no .xml file type extention.

Fetch the RSS with cURL then load the string with simplexml_load_string.

I can connect?

<?php
$xml_feed="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=fleuragemapvv&count=3";
if($xml = simplexml_load_file("$xml_feed")){
echo"connected";
}
?>

Could possibly be your server limitations on loading external files.

 

The above script worked fine for me as well.

It can be that your xml only containts the error message.

For the rest, my server is somwhere hosted with douzends of other sites where probably others do twitter requests aswell.

So that's why i always hit the 150 limit.

Okay, but what you aren't understanding is the above code example works fine on OUR servers.

 

That means the issue is with a SERVER, not with your code.
