craigt Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 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!

Solution boompa Posted July 13, 2015 Solution Share Posted July 13, 2015 Try setting the curl option CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to true. Looks like there's a redirect occurring now.
