Question

I have a xml file on my server. I have the following two questions.

1. How to send this xml file using php to the clients browser ?
2. The client would be making an ajax get request to the php script that sends the xml as a response. On the server side i use php simplexml functions to parse xml data. But, on the client end what would be the best way to parse the xml data ?

Thank You

Answer 1

You would use these two commands:

<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml');
readfile('/path/to/file.xml');

You didn’t say anything about receiving XML on the server, so I’m not sure what you mean by parsing.

Regarding parsing XML in JavaScript… I defer to someone with more experience.
