    Dear All,

    I 'm facing a problem while using SimpleXML
    new.php
    <?php
    echo "Hello1";
    $xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");

    echo "Hello2";
    ?>

    test.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <note>
    <to>Tove</to>
    <from>Jani</from>
    <heading>Reminder</heading>
    <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
    </note>

    The 2 files are in the same folder:
    the first hello message is echoed, while the second is not, as if there is a problem with the following
    $xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");

    I can't find a reason for this error

    That looks like valid code (XML and PHP) to me, so most likely it will be be something simple.

    Try replacing

    
$xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");
    Code (markup):
    With 

    
$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml') or die('<br/>An error has occured');
    Code (markup):
    Run the script and copy the output into the nw reply

    Thanks for your kind attention.

    well i tried this replacement

    However, I still got only the first Hello1 message.

    Even, die message is not displayed.

    Could it be a problem with the server?
    Is it for a certain php version, that my server should support it? and how do i know this.

    Are you sure you have simpleXML installed?

    No, i guess this is the problem

    I know nothing about simpleXML installation. Can you tell me how to do this?

    Note: the server is a remote server, a yahoo one, i can only access it with filezilla.

    Yahoo <- That's where the problem lies. What version of PHP are you running there? I've heard they only support 4. (It's pre-installed on PHP 5+)

    well, let me check with the server administrator, and see what we can do.

    Thank you very much for your kind attention
