Error processing resource > 'http://127.0.0.1/domtest.php'. Seems pretty clear. You need to put something *IN* your DOMDocument to have it be valid. A totally empty document is not valid XML. Add some line between the 2 lines you have, and do something with the $dom to add something to it. No idea how you do that, mind you, but it's what you need. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
