SimpleXML

[residual]

So I'm just trying to parse an XML file with SimpleXML. I can access most of the items and parse them correctly but the GamerScore one is giving me trouble and always returning a 0. The GamerScore I am interested in is the first item, in my example it's value is 2090. Please Help 🙁

Link to the XML: http://duncanmackenzie.net/services/GetXboxInfo.aspx?GamerTag=OcR%20Envy

My Code:

<?php

function screen_scrape ($link)	
{	
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/class_http.php');		
$h = new http();		
$h->dir = "/cache/"; 		
if (!$h->fetch($link,600)) 		
	{		
	echo "<h2>There is a problem with the http request!</h2>";		
	echo $h->log;		exit();		
	}		
$newhtml=$h->body;	
return $newhtml;	
}

$h3tag = $_GET['h3tag'];
$h3tag = str_replace(" ","%20",$h3tag);

	$fetch_url = "http://duncanmackenzie.net/services/GetXboxInfo.aspx?GamerTag=" . urlencode($h3tag);						

	$userinfo=screen_scrape("$fetch_url");						
	$xml = simplexml_load_string($userinfo);		

	$score=$xml->GamerScore;
echo $score;

?>

Try casting it to a string:

$score = (string) $xml->GamerScore;

echo $score;

If that doesn't work, then do:

$score = $xml->GamerScore;

var_dump($score);

and see what exactly is in $score.

setting it as a string does not work.

a dump returns this:

object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) { [0]=> string(1) "0" }

The following worked for me, so my suspicion is that the screen_scrape() function is not returning the entire XML content.

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://duncanmackenzie.net/services/GetXboxInfo.aspx?GamerTag=OcR%20Envy');
echo $xml->GamerScore;

given that even the $score dump doesn't include the string 2090, I'd assume that as well 😉

Yea you're both correct. I've given up on the function and gone back to standard xml 😉

TY mark as Resolved.
