help with domxml_open_file()

[sh3lter]

hi ! i would very much appreciate any help on this
problem :

when i do this:

$host = 'http:/spectral.sytes.net/';
$file ='projecto/xml/pessoal.xml';

if (!( $data = domxml_open_file($host.$file)))
print "error loading document";

i allways get an error ( and the quotes are not the problem cos if i try with single quotes the result is the same). however if i do it this way ( which i dont want) :

if (!($data = domxml_open_file('http://spectral.sytes.net/projecto/xml/pessoal.xml')))
print "error loading document";

it works 🙁 ...

can anyone help me on this?

Run this test script:

$host = 'http:/spectral.sytes.net/'; 
$file = 'xml/pessoal.xml'; 
echo strlen($host . $file) . '<br>';
echo strlen('http://spectral.sytes.net/projecto/xml/pessoal.xml') . '<br>';

Well, then, is the one backslash after "http:" in the "$host" assignment part of your real code or part of the code you want us to look at for you? Are there any other dissimilarities between what you're using and what you're posting here? Do you get any particular kind of error or just "an error"?
