Question

There is site , shop.test.com.au (not a real name)

when ever i tried to take the site through
http://shop.test.com.au/ , it will change to shop.test.com.au in the browser

They providing an xml page link on that site

I need to access that xml from my php page

Following is my code

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load('shop.test.com.au/1.xml');

Then it will return an error “failed to open stream: No such file or directory“, may be it is checking in my local machine.So i changed the code to

 $doc = new DOMDocument();
 $doc->load('http://shop.test.com.au/1.xml');

Then i gets an error “failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!“

How can i solve it?

Answer 1

the best would be to use CURL, make sure you have CURL installed and then use this

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://shop.test.com.au/1.xml");

$xml = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);

And there you go – $xml should be having the data you desire.
