Hi folks,
I've stumbled into a project involving a server running PHP4 without
cURL. The script fetches data from an XML webservice and deals with
it. Is http://ca2.php.net/xml_parser_create the
place to start? Any
tips (besides updating PHP)?
Here's an example of the PHP5 code:
$url = "http://www.domain.com/webservice.php?var=foo";
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$val = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($val);
$errors = libxml_get_errors();
if (!($errors)){
$myvariable = $xml->attributes()->value;
}
else{
// deal with errors
}
