simplexml_load_file

[Richard Yates]

My first stab at connecting to an API with php. The API takes a url and returns an xml file. When I try this:

 

<?php

    $apicall = "https://www.graphicmail.com/[email protected]&Password=x&Function=get_newsletters&SID=0";

    $xml = simplexml_load_file($apicall);

    print_r($xml);

?>

 

My local testing server responds with:

 

Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

 

However, in the php configuration file,  php.ini, I have: 'allow_url_fopen = On' which is what the manual says is all you need for https use in most functions that take urls.

 

The url that is $apicall works correctly when just pasted into the browser. When I try the php code on the production server I get no warning (they are turned off) and no output.

 

Any ideas?

Try enabling php_openssl.dll extension in you php_ini file.
