PHP XML Import script error - simplexml_load_string and xpath

I have a XML import script which uses "simplexml_load_string" to import a Feed of real estate properties. The script is scheduled to run 1am each night. 

 

It has worked fine for many months; but yesterday it started to error with the below:

 

PHP Warning:  simplexml_load_string() [<a href='function.simplexml-load-string'>function.simplexml-load-string</a>]:

Entity: line 2: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document in /public_html/import/import-script.php on line 26

 

PHP Warning:  simplexml_load_string() [<a href='function.simplexml-load-string'>function.simplexml-load-string</a>]: <body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This object may be found <a HREF="http://admin.homees in /public_html/import/import-script.php on line 26

 

PHP Warning:  simplexml_load_string() [<a href='function.simplexml-load-string'>function.simplexml-load-string</a>]: ^ in /public_html/import/import-script.php on line 26

 

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function xpath() on a non-object in /public_html/import/import-script.php on line 28

Status: 500 Internal Server Error

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.17

Content-type: text/html

 

I cannot understand why this error shows; as the feed still opens in a browser all ok. Plus W3C validate it as all ok too.

 

Please can anyone explain what this error means / why I might be seeing it? 

 

Also I check the Server Log and it says:

[error] [client 46.208.46.63:41713] AH01215: PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function xpath() on a non-object in /public_html/import/import-script.php on line 30

 

This is a snippet of our PHP import script: 

 

$ch2 = curl_init();
$timeout = 60; 
curl_setopt ($ch2, CURLOPT_URL, "external-website/provided-feed.xml");
curl_setopt ($ch2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch2, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$xmlstring = curl_exec($ch2);
curl_close($ch2); 
    
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);
$propertys = $xml->xpath("//property");
$count=0;
 
Huge thanks in advance! Craig.
