You can use some regex to complete this task.

if (phpversion() >= 5) {
echo '<table>', PHP_EOL;
foreach (simplexml_load_string($xml) as $key => $value) {
	echo '<tr><td>', $key, '</td><td>', $value, '</td></tr>', PHP_EOL;
}
echo '</table>', PHP_EOL;
}

echo '<table>', PHP_EOL;
foreach (simplexml_load_string($xml) as $key => $value) {
	echo '<tr><td>', $key, '</td><td>', $value, '</td></tr>', PHP_EOL;
}
echo '</table>', PHP_EOL;
}

 

actually the xml is built from a php script on another file like somexmlfile.php by passing a varaible

 

let's say somexmlfile.php?url=msn.com

 

so how can I set the value of $xml to the somexmlfile.php?url=msn.com output

[lur]

$xml = file_get_contents('http://example.net/somexmlfile.php?url=msn.com');

[prakash]

$xml = file_get_contents('http://example.net/somexmlfile.php?url=msn.com');

 

thanks a lot

it's really helped for my script
