Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
<pages>
<page>
    <title>Home</title>
    <content>Lorem Ipsum</content>
</page>
<page>
    <title>Pictures</title>
    <content>Lorem Ipsum</content>
</page>
<page>
    <title>Information</title>
    <content>Lorem Ipsum</content>
</page>
</pages>

My XML

$url = "xml->build.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

$i = 1;

foreach($xml->page as $page) {
    echo "<strong>Page ".$i.":</strong> ".$page->title."<br/>";
    $i++;
}

My PHP

I’m getting:

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity “xml->build.xml”

Just from that simple script! Any Ideas? 🙂

Updated, this is the exact XML file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
<pages>
<page>
    <title>Home</title>
    <content>Lorem Ipsum</content>
</page>
<page>
    <title>Pictures</title>
    <content>Lorem Ipsum</content>
</page>
<page>
    <title>Information</title>
    <content>Lorem Ipsum</content>
</page>
</pages>
<css>
<css-tag>
    <title>background-color</title>
    <value>#FFF</value>
</css-tag>
</css>
<layout>1</layout>

Answer 1

That’s happening because you’re trying to read a file that is not there. If your file is named build.xml and is stored in the same directory as the PHP script, replace:

$url = "xml->build.xml";

with:

$url = dirname(__FILE__) . "/build.xml";
