Question

I am using PHP XML DOM to read the content of RSS Feed. It works fine in my local server, but the hosting server it gives error like below

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [(B)domdocument.load]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in ....

After searching for that issue I found that the hosting server normally disabled that feature file_access.
What is the alternate method to read RSS content without changing the server configuration.

Here is my code snippet.

function readRSS ($rssURL, $entryno)
{
    //$xml ="http://feeds.feedburner.com/OnlyMyHealth-Diabetes";
     $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
     $xmlDoc->load($rssURL);
}

Answer 1

You can use cURL, which is very powerful, and will probably be enabled (altho you can always test on your host)

One tutorial here:

But basically you do something similar to your DOMDocument() approach but with cURL.

UPDATE

You could also just cURL the RSS feed to a local folder, and use DOMDocument on the local file as it sounds like its only URL disabled (remote files). Local might work just fine.
