Question

I Google’d not long ago and came across this solution to loop out information from a XML page.

$url    = 'http://steamcommunity.com/id/ChetFaliszek/stats/L4D/?xml=1';
$achxml = simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach ($achxml->playerstats->game as $ach)
{
  $name = (string) $ach->NAME;
  echo $name. "<br>";
}

I think these lines of code will do the trick but I only get following error when I try to fetch the information: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in .... The link to the XML page (random guys XML) is in the $url parameter.

Now to the question: How do I fix this problem so I can see if this code will work?

Thanks in advance.

One more problem before I have fix this issue 🙂 How do I list every achievement that’s in the XML page?

try:

foreach ($achxml->achievements->achievement as $achievement)
{
     echo $achievement->name, '(closed: ', (string) $achievement['closed'], ')';
}
