How can I parse this xml page
http://evercore:[e-mail]/www.sportsbook.com/trends/203.xml using PHP simplexml? I get an error saying it can’t be loaded.

Thanks,

Was toying around with this until @vassilis pointed out user-agent sniffing is applied, see it as another way to the same goal, points go to @vassilis.

<?php
$username = 'evercore';
$password = 'david10';
$opts = array(
    'http' => array(
        'method'  => 'GET',
        'header'  => sprintf("Authorization: Basic %s\r\nUser-Agent: Foobar!", base64_encode($username.':'.$password))
    )
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);
libxml_set_streams_context($context);
$xml =  new SimpleXMLElement(
        "http://feeds.outgard.net/www.sportsbook.com/trends/203.xml",
        null,
        true);
var_dump($xml);
