I was testingsimplexml_load_string() func.
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$test = stripslashes($_POST['xml']);
$testing = simplexml_load_string($test);
print_r($testing);
?>
After the execution following error occurred, even if i am striping slashes.

How i can solve this error ?
I think that xml file you are trying to convert has a bad format. You can try the example that there is in official doc here in the first example and then try to fit your XML file to be like that.

I dont understand why this error is getting, because in local and other servers its working fine. On dreamhost, its not. Can anybody help me in this.
The error message already tells you, what is wrong

XML requires all tags be closed, while with HTML, you can omit the closing tag occasionally.
In this case, you have a <hr> tag without a corresponding closing tag. This is perfectly valid in HTML. However, it is not well-formed XML, which is required by simplexml_load_string
Description
Takes a well-formed XML string and returns it as an object.
I have fixed the issue.
The ip was blocked, so forbidden message was getting, instead of xml.
Unblocking the ip fixed everything.

I have the following code that takes the "money" all my XML field but only 1 record and shows me this error:
Error:

My code:

$dbquery->execute();
while($rows = $dbquery->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$string = $rows['BYTES'];
$tuxml = new SimpleXMLElement($string);
echo $tuxml->attributes()->Moneda;
Analysis
Reading the exception information properly reveals the origin of the problem:
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
Conclusion: You try to parse something that is no valid XML
SimpleXMLElement->__construct('%PDF-1.4?%?????...')
Conclusion: Looks like you are trying to parse a PDF file as indicated by the magic number "%PDF":
Magic number(s):
All PDF files start with the characters '%PDF-' using the PDF
version number, e.g., '%PDF-1.4'. These characters are in US-
ASCII encoding.
(Source: RFC 3778, Page 9, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3778)
Resolutions
Ensure your source contains only valid XML files
Try to detect the mime type of the file and skip non XML files
Add a surrounding try-catch block to handle files not parseable as XML
I am using PHP for the first time. I am using the php sample for uploading image on ebay sandbox. I am getting the following error on running the PHP file:
PHP Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /home/nish/stuff/market place/test/php5/UploadImage/UploadSiteHostedPictures.php on line 69

Relevant lines are:
69. $respXmlObj = simplexml_load_string($respXmlStr); // create SimpleXML object from string for easier parsing
// need SimpleXML library loaded for this
92. $ack = $respXmlObj->Ack;
93. $picNameOut = $respXmlObj->SiteHostedPictureDetails->PictureName;
94. $picURL = $respXmlObj->SiteHostedPictureDetails->FullURL;
What I can understand is the respXMLObj is not getting set properly. I have checked that simleXML support is enabled.
Could someone please help me debug this. Thanks
The code you refer to has this line:
//curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1 ); // Uncomment these for debugging
it seems like you uncommented these. This will result in getting the HTTP header in your response. Which is OK for debugging, but it will create an XML parse error in simplexml_load_string.
Either comment it out again or put 0 as its value.
In my case. I just removed the invisible character The BOM in the beginning of the XML file. How to do it - depends on your text editor.
$hasError = false;
if ( $resp == 'Internal Server Error' || empty($resp) )
{
$hasError = true;
}
if ( ! $hasError )
{
$aux = !empty($resp) ? explode('', $resp) : NULL;
$temp = utf8_decode(trim($aux[0]));
$xml = simplexml_load_string($temp);
}
Do a var_dump($respXmlStr); my guess is that this string is not valid XML.
As per the simplexml-load-string documentation, the first parameter is expected to be A well-formed XML string - http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php
I've been trying for the past couple of days to figure out why my code works perfectly locally but fails when deployed on a production server.
My local testing environment is the latest MAMP on a 10.7.2 Lion iMac.
Basically I need to fetch certain XML RSS data from Artistdata.com in order to insert it into a simple PHP-driven, non-CMS website I'm working on.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>RSS FEED Parser</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
# RSS Feed parser #
function getFeed($feed_url) {
$content = file_get_contents($feed_url);
$x = new SimpleXmlElement($content);
foreach ($x->show as $showEntry) {
echo '<div>';# date
$newDate = new DateTime($showEntry->date);
echo date_format($newDate, 'l, F j, Y');
echo '</div>';# /date
# further data fetching, totally unrelated
# to the problem that I'm experiencing
}
}
?>
<!-- START FEED PARSING -->
<div id="feed-data">
<?php getFeed('http://feeds.artistdata.com/xml.shows/artist/AR-30CA266E4BEDD78F/xml/future'); ?>
</div>
<!-- END FEED PARSING -->
</body>
</html>
I'm sure there are more people who had similar problems but I've yet to find a viable solution.
If you have any pointers I'd be very grateful.

Problem solved, I was using the wrong feed, the correct one is http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/john-latini/shows/xml/future
That XML does not look like RSS. It is an specific format defined by http://feeds.artistdata.com/_css/shows.xsd.
The error messages all say that you get an HTML (2.0) page not a XML. I can not reproduce that, I get the XML using file_get_contents().
Try to output the HTML page, maybe it has some more information.
echo file_get_contents('http://feeds.artistdata.com/xml.shows/artist/AR-30CA266E4BEDD78F/xml/future');
I use PHP's simplexml_load_file() function to call an API that returns changed results based on a Timestamp that I send.
So the API will return only results that have changed since my Timestamp. The problem I am having is if the timestamp is too soon and there are no results for the API to return, then it does not return a proper XML file, instead it will just return a blank page.
This is causing all sorts of problems with simplexml_load_file
Here is a simple test I can run...
$xml = 'http://api.rescuegroups.org/rest/?key=CZivWWGD&type=orgs&limit=300&updatedAfter=1361941202&startPage=1';
$xmlObj = new SimpleXMLElement($xml, NULL, TRUE);
This results in...
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct(): http://api.rescuegroups.org/rest/?key=CZivWWGD&type=orgs&limit=300&updatedAfter=1361941202&startPage=1:1: parser error : Document is empty in E:\Server\htdocs\labs\freelance\dogAPI\testorg.php on line 9

Now if I pass the API a Timestamp that is further back where there are results, then it will return a perfect XML document.
I am looking for a way to possibly prevent this nasty error from happening somehow?
simplexml_load_file:
Use libxml_use_internal_errors() to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors() to iterate over them afterwards.
Returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held within the XML document, or FALSE on failure.
So suppress the errors and check for FALSE to detect when the query didn't go as expected.
$xml = #simplexml_load_file('http://api.rescuegroups.org/rest/?key=CZivWWGD&type=orgs&limit=300&updatedAfter=1361941202&startPage=1');
if(false !== $xml)
{
// Do anything with xml
}
If there an errors # hide it and return false
