you could try simplexml ...

http://php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-file.php

 

thanx for ur reply

but i have tryed this

this is my code :

<?php
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load('https://api.trueknowledge.com/direct_answer?object_metadata=image128,wikipedia,official &question=What%27s+the+time+in+Chicago%3F&api_account_id=api_songautam&api_password=e1wpseb647fhpaw2');

$x = $xmlDoc->documentElement;
foreach ($x->childNodes AS $item)
  {

	  if($item->nodeName == 'tk:text_result')
  print $item->nodeValue . "<br />";
  }
?>

PHP:

but this is showing error:

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [function.DOMDocument-load]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "https://api.trueknowledge.com/direct_answer?object_metadata=image128%2Cwikipedia%2Cofficial%20&question=What%2527s%2Bthe%2Btime%2Bin%2BChicago%253F&api_account_id=api_songautam&api_password=e1wpseb647fhpaw2" in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\test.php on line 3

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\test.php on line 6

 

problem with the url encoding i think ... i tried without the apostrophe in " ... what's ... " eg "whats+the+time"

like this:

 

I've never liked simplexml because I chose to get really good with preg_match_all() ... it handles xml, html & even excel spreadsheets. Likely it's not even installed on your server and that's why you're getting that error. What PHP version are you using?

I would code something up and paste it here but I think showing you discussion + code is more beneficial.
