  • 0

I want to load a xml file using Jquery . The xml is generated using a php script (Currently just using echo) My problem is that the file will just not produce and results . My Jquery is listed below 

          $(document).ready(function()
          {

               $.ajax({
                 type: "GET",
                 url: "phpxml.php",
                 dataType: "xml",
                 success: displayXml
              });

          function displayXml(data){

            $(data).find("sites").each(function() {

              var heading = $(this).find("name").text();

              var output = "<li>";
              output += "<h2>" + heading + "</h2>";
              output += "</li>";
              $("#place-holder").append(output);
            });
          } 

          }); // doc ready

          </head>

          <body>

          <h2> Ajax / Jquery Test </h2>
           <ul id='place-holder'>
           </ul>
         </html>

My php file is below which just echos xml. Can anyone offer any suggestions please ? 

            <?php 

            echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>';

            echo"
            <sites>
                <name>
                   J Smith
                 </name>

                <name>

    Well, it seems that you haven’t set content -type in phpxml.php file.

    try,

    <?php 
header('content-type:text/xml');
            echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>';

            echo"
            <sites>
                <name>
                   J Smith
                 </name>

                <name>
                   A Coxhead
                 </name>

                <name>
                   D Wilson
                 </name>

            </sites>
            " ; 

?>

    Make sure that there should be no spaces before php tag other wise headers will not be sent.
