PHP XML error

harleyh

Having trouble even getting started trying to use XML in PHP. I can't seem to even get past getting the XML read.

I've tried something simple like this;

$str = <<<XML
<?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?>
<RequestMessage>
<PartnerId>ID</PartnerId>
</RequestMessage>
XML;

$xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($str);

var_dump($xmlobj);

This results in - bool(false).

This seems so simple but I can't get past it no matter how simple I try and make the XML.

When posting, please use the formatting tags described in the FAQ to make your code easier to read; thank you.

Your XML is invalid. Attribute values (like "1.0" and "utf-8") need to be in quotes.

Turn on error reporting and you'll get a pile of warnings about that.

Also, you might want to use <?php instead of <?.

<?php
$str =  <<<XML
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RequestMessage>
  <PartnerId>ID</PartnerId>
 </RequestMessage>
XML;

$xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($str); 

var_dump($xmlobj);

?>

Still results in bool(false)? Could there be a problem in my PHP configuration?

Could be (though I don't see how); the code you posted works for me.

You could always use dom instead, which comes with php5.

You could also try the various XML class at phpclasses.org
