Display xml in php?

[Mr Chris]

Hi Guys,

 

I want to display an XML file in a php file on my site.  Now here's my code that i'm using:

 

<?php 

// Load the XML data from the specified file name.   
// The second argument (NULL) allows us to specify additional libxml parameters, 
// we don't need this so we'll leave it as NULL.  The third argument however is 
// important as it informs simplexml to handle the first parameter as a file name 
// rather than a XML formatted string. 
$pFile = new SimpleXMLElement('new_feed.xml', null, true);   

// Now that we've loaded our XML file we can begin to parse it. 
// We know that a channel element should be available within the, 
// document so we begin by looping through each channel 
foreach ($pFile->channel as $pChild) 
{     
    // Print our channel specific information, this should be 
    // easy to understand, basically we're grabbing the  
    // title, descripting and link nodes and outputting their values 
    echo "<h1>" . $pChild->title . "</h1>\n"; 
    echo "<p>\n"; 
    echo $pChild->attributes . "<br />\n"; 
    printf('Visit us at <a href="%s">%s</a><br />' . "\n",  $pChild->link, $pChild->link); 
    echo "</p>\n"; 
     
    // Now we want to loop through the items inside this channel 
    foreach ($pFile->channel->item as $pItem) 
    { 
        echo "<p>\n"; 
         
        // If this item has child nodes as it should,  
        // loop through them and print out the data 
        foreach ($pItem->children() as $pChild) 
        { 
            // We can check the name of this node using the getName() method. 
            // We can then use this information, to, for example, embolden 
            // the title or format a link 
            switch ($pChild->getName()) 
            { 
                case 'title': 
                    echo "<b>$pChild</b><br />\n"; 
                    break; 
                     
                case 'link': 
                    printf('<a href="%s>%s</a><br />' . "\n", $pChild, $pChild); 
                    break; 
                     
                default: 
                    echo nl2br($pChild) . "<br />\n"; 
                    break; 
            } 
        } 
         
        echo "</p>\n"; 
    } 
} 

?> 

 

and here's the XML file i'm linking to:

 

http://www.slougheaz.org/xml/new_feed.xml

 

And i've tried grabbing two pieces of information from this file. The title and the attributes but I can't seem to get it to load as it brings back this error:

Any suggestions, as i'm totally stuck?

 

Thanks

 

Chris
