I’m trying to retrieve an webpage that has XML data using file_get_contents().

$get_url_report = 'https://...'; // GET URL
$str = file_get_contents($get_url_report);

The problem is that file_get_contents gets only the secure content of the page and returns only some strings without the XML. In Windows IE, if I type in $get_url_report, it would warn it if I want to display everything. If I click yes, then it shows me the XML, which is what I want to store in $str. Any ideas on how to retrieve the XML data into a string from the webpage $get_url_report?

    You should already be getting the pure XML if the URL is correct. If you’re having trouble, perhaps the URL is expecting you to be logged in or something similar. Use a var_dump($str) and then view source on that page to see what you get back.

    Either way, there is no magic way to get any linked content from the XML. All you would get is the XML itself and would need further PHP code to process and get any links/images/data from it.
