[SOLVED] Reading an XML file

[dewknight]

I've been doing a lot of searching and everything I find is either for a big XML file with tons of extra stuff, or not for PHP.

 

I am trying to read one thing from a small XML file. Here is a sample file: http://www.dewknight.com/rank/api.xml

The 00 value is what I need. I am going to write it to an image but that's the easy part.

 

What I need is to read this XML file and just get that number. The file will be hosted on a different server, so I will need to get the file via the url. Can anybody help me here?

Look at our tutorials:

Thank you, I got it working, though probably not the right way. I will continue to study those tutorials.

with simplexml

 

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://www.dewknight.com/rank/api.xml');

echo $xml->site->stat['value'];
?>
