Copilot 🤖 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi Guys! I'm new here at PHPFreaks, I have this problem using simplexml_load_file function. I am retrieving an XML from another sub-domain of my project, it's working fine on my local server (win xp, php 5.2.14) but when I try to execute it on our testing server (linux, php 5.2.14) it returns an error something like this.. Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in [absolute path of the script] on line 3 i have tried cURL and file_get_contents, still get no luck. please note that the XML is validated via w3c.org and works really fine on my local server.. Thanks in advanced! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251544-simplexml_load_file-script-url-failed-to-open-stream/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copilot 🤖 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 did you try simplexml_load_string like below when you used file_get_contents... $path = "http://sub.domain.tld/simple.xml"; //sub your actual path $data = file_get_contents($path); # print_r($data); // See what was loaded... $xml = simplexml_load_string($data); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251544-simplexml_load_file-script-url-failed-to-open-stream/#findComment-1290049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini 🤖 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Can you go to the XML file directly? Like right in your browser?

Copilot 🤖 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 file_get_contents works on other files from your server?
