XML Parser Error Start Tag Expected
(2 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am using below code for converting xml response to php string but I am getting below error
"Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found....."
"Warning: simplexml_load_string(): example.com...."
"Warning: simplexml_load_string(): ^ in /home/example/public_html/example.php on line 9"
<?php
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>';
$url= "example.com";
$xml = simplexml_load_string($url);
echo $xml->status;
?>
Well, simplexml_load_string expects an XML string to be passed as parameter, which is not the case of your code: the content of $url variable is not a valid XML string, thus, you get those errors.
You may want to load the $url as a file instead. Example:
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
Final code:
<?php
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>';
$url ="example.com";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
echo $xml->status;

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
dd($response);
It is of type response string.

To convert this data to xml I used simplexml_load_string()
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
dd($xml);
And the output is like this.
^ SimpleXMLElement {#435}
I'm trying to access the data in it and try this.
$status = (string)$xml->result->status;
dd($status);
Returns :
^ ""
I tried using simplexml_load_file() and got no results. My main goal is to get this data as json, but I can't do it because I can't read the values.Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
After #Jacob Mulquin's suggestion I used:
if ($xml === false) {
dump("b");
foreach (libxml_get_errors() as $error) {
dump($error->message);
}
dd("a");
} else {
dd("c");
}
Returned : "c"
Your sample xml is not well formed, for various reasons, but assuming that the actual $response is a well formed xml string, the following should get you what you need:
#first you need to deal with namespaces
$xml->registerXPathNamespace("ns3", "http://xxx1");
#then use xpath to select your target element
$status = $xml->xpath('//ns3:GetProductListResponse//status')[0];
echo $status;
Output should be
success
I am doing a curl request and getting the following back:
//....curl stuff....//
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close ($curl);
print_R($result);

I have tried xml_parser_create and
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
and i get a garbled mess in return.

I can see what appears to be some json at the {"Keys" area of the response. How can i parse this correctly?
What other info do you need to help answer question?
The first warning indicate the parser doesn't like the second part <?xml version... So get rid of it:
$result = substr($result, 0, strpos($result, '<?xml version'));
Then to pull out the JSON string, use:
$jsonString = (string) simplexml_load_string($result)->body;
$array = json_decode($jsonString);
extract the json with DOMDocument, and parse it with json_decode
$domd=#DOMDocument::loadHTML($response);
$json_data=json_decode(trim($domd->getElementsByTagName("body")->item(0)->textContent));
now the stuff in the json can be accessed like $UserID=$json_data->UserID;, ... and the stuff in the HTML can be accessed in $domd, like $loginResponse=$domd->getElementsByTagName("LoginResponse")->item(0)->textContent; - didn't see anything useful in the html other than the json, though..
I’m setting up a PHP site which will gather information from a Dell iDRAC. I want to use the returned information to create a PHP object. The information returned from the first part of the script looks like this.

XML;
It works like a charm. So, my question is simple. How can I tell PHP to process the string the same way it processes the XML like it does if the XML identifier is used. I have tried to reprocess the string like this:
$new_string = <<<XML
$string
XML;
But no go. Any other ideas?
Are you using file_get_contents to actually load the XML file into a string before using simplexml_load_string which—as the name states—loads XML from a string?
$xml_file = file_get_contents('test.xml');
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_file);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($xml);
echo '</pre>';
And the output is good when I use the XML from your post:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[#attributes] => Array
(
[xmlnwsa] => http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing
[xmlnwsen] => http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration
[xmlnn1] => http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/DCIM_SystemView
[xmlnxsi] => http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
)
And so on…
And so on…
And so on…
But that said, I can recreate your error exactly if I add a space or line to the beginning of the XML file like this; note the one simple space before <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Envelope xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlnwsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlnwsen="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration" xmlnn1="http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/DCIM_SystemView" xmlnxsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
And so on…
And so on…
And so on…
And here is my error:
Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test.php on line 5
Warning: simplexml_load_string(): in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test.php on line 5
Warning: simplexml_load_string(): ^ in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test.php on line 5
So hey! I know your pain!
Anyway, the quick solution I tried is to use trim on the $xml_file to get rid of extraneous white space at the beginning & end of the of the file like this:
$xml_file = file_get_contents('test.xml');
$xml = simplexml_load_string(trim($xml_file));
echo '<pre>';
print_r($xml);
echo '</pre>';
And all works great!
function retrieveProfile()
{
$url = "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/{$this->steamID64}/?xml=1";
$profileData = simplexml_load_string($url);
if(!empty($profileData->error)) { return NULL; }
$this->friendlyName = (string) $profileData->steamID;
}

This is the XML file:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197991676121/?xml=1
I got no ideea why it does not work and yes it have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> header !
Tried $profileData = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents($url)) too but I get the same result.
Why is this happening ? How can I solve it? I am searching for 3 hours and see only answers that won't help me .
Errors : http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/9464/errorszz.png
EDIT1 : simplexml_load_string was one of my mistakes but now I get even more errors with simplexml_load_file - Tells me that the document is empty... (Not true !)
You are loading the URL as your XML source. You should have:
$profileData = simplexml_load_file($url);
Url was changing from steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197991676121/?xml=1 to http://steamcommunity.com/id/virusbogdan/?xml=1 .
Obviously the first link returns null so there was an error. Problem solved !

Parse the namespaces first.
$namespaces = $xml->getNameSpaces(true);
$s = $xml->children($namespaces['s']);
echo (string)$s->product->title. "\n";
echo (string)$s->product->images->image->attributes()->link;
You need to get the correct namespace with . This is untested, but might do the trick:
$url = 'xml-file.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
$namespaces = $xml->entry->getNameSpaces(true);
// Get children of the correct namespace
$s = $xml->entry[0]->children($namespaces['s']);
$title = $s->product->title;
//print
echo '<br/>';
echo $title;
