[SOLVED] View this XML data

[ziltech]

Hello All,

 

Probably a very easy question from a PHP novice.

 

I am trying to find out how to write a php script that can assign an element from an XML file to a PHP variable.

 

The XML source is http://www.avallen.co.uk/scr/auth/v3main/txtvrm/reg.php?strVRM=wlo6kcu

 

Note that the XML is dynamically generated from the reg.php file, it isn't a direct source to a static XML file.

 

 

I want to just be able to assign the 'ErrorDescription' element of the XML file to lets say an $errordescription variable so that I can easily echo it anywhere on the php page.

 

Probably very simply but scratching my head.

 

Thanks very much,

 

Rob

try

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file("http://www.avallen.co.uk/scr/auth/v3main/txtvrm/reg.php?strVRM=wlo6kcu");

$errDesc = (string)$xml->DataArea->Error->Details->ErrorDescription;

echo $errDesc;
?>
