Question

I’m requesting information from a remote server which is sent back to me as XML, I use SimpleXML to parse it. However I need to load multiple URLs, can I do so through one file, or do I need to have a different file for each request?

My code looks something like this

$url = 'http://...';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

Thanks!

You can create a loop that deals with the multiple urls…

$all_urls = array('http://url1', 'http://url2', 'http://url3');
foreach ($all_urls as $url) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
}
