Note Submitter: webmaster at mavoric dot net ---- If you are using the above examples to get at external XML/RSS files and are encountering errors, you need to understand that PHP Version 5.2.3 + forbids the use of using include to get at external XML/RSS files . You need to change the start of the code slightly... <?php $url = 'http://www.a_external_site.com/example.xml'; $rss_file = file_get_contents($url); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($rss_file); echo $xml->movie[0]->plot; // "So this language. It's like..." ?> Just replace the first two lines of the exsisting code with the first two of the above code.
