XML data read into php

[anirban1087]

I am trying to get some xml data into my web page using php. When I am placeing the url into a web browser it is showing some xml data. But when I am doing that from inside a php page it is returning some empty data.

The link is "http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?FromCurrency=GBP&ToCurrency=INR".

My code looks like -

<?php 
$url  = "http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?FromCurrency=USD&ToCurrency=INR"; 

$xml = simplexml_load_file($url); 

print "<pre>"; 
var_dump($xml); 
print "</pre>"; 
?>

And it is returing -
bool(false)

PLEASE HELP ME

I copied your code into my own page and ran it and got a result with FF, IE and Chrome:

object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "52.82"
}

Strange...

You're missing something in the xml file that's why it's not reading the data.

If you are having issues then can you post the code that display your xml.

check to see if you are running php in safe mode. if not you may have allow_url_fopen turned off in your php.ini file. I believe that in order to do what you are trying to do that you need to have this option turned on.
