[SOLVED] More XML issues. Using DOMDocument to parse XML.

[gromer]

php version 4.3.9

 

I'm sending xome XML to a server who then sends XML back to me.  I use fread and get the XML sent back and I can echo my $xml variable and it has the xml.  I can then make a DOMDocument but when I use loadXML it stops and doesn't do anything after that line, including displaying the HTML I have below all my php code.  Is there something I need to configure with php for loadXML to work?  If so, how do I go about doing that?  Thanks!

 

	$xmlRequest = fsockopen($hostname, $port);		
	fputs($xmlRequest, $xmlToSend);

	while ($out = fread($xmlRequest, 1024))
	{
		$xml .= $out;
	}

	fclose($xmlRequest);

	// Parse XML data and set session variables when needed and then redirect to arSummary.php.
	$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();

	$xmlDoc->loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><employees><employee><name>Mike</name></employee></employees>");
	echo $xmlDoc->saveXML();

I think you need PHP 5+ for DOMDocument class.

Yikes, I'm retarded.  I saw that earlier, but I was under the impression from another page I looked at made it look like 4.3.x was fine.  Anything else I can use without upgrading my php?  If not, how easy/hard is it to upgrade to the newest php 5 version?  Also, couldn't I just do a side by side install so I can test out my current php to make sure everything works?  Then migrate everything to php5 from php4?  Ugh, I wish this site was in ASP

ASP = Windows...ugh. anyway...

 

You can still do DOM XML stuff in PHP 4:

I assume you're on Windows and I don't know anything about developing PHP on Windows, so I can't help there. If you're on Linux, it's pretty simple from command-line or very simple from WHM/CPanel. If you're on OS X, download and install MAMP and you can toggle back and forth between PHP 4 and PHP 5.

No, it's a Linux setup.  It looks like domxml is working so far.  Thanks for the help!
