simplexml_load_file and rss problem

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I have a problem parsing an rss feed using simplexml_load_file - this is strange as i have used the same code to parse literally 1000s of different feeds in the past, and even stranger in that if i put the feed source on our server as a .xml file then my code parses it successfully.

The relevant code snippet:
$xml = simplexml_load_file("http://www.quidco.com/blog/?feed=rss2",'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

The errors i get are:
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: http://www.quidco.com/blog/?feed=rss2:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in [my php script]
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: 2977 in [my php script]
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: ^ in [my php script]

Any ideas or suggestions will be much appreciated thanks
