I want to parse a xml document which is located on another domain. I want to do this with PHP. Is it possible?
I've already try simpleXML but it doesn't seems to work.

5Yes, it's possible. What exactly isn't working? What errors are you getting? Can you show some code?Pekka– Pekka2012-02-20 20:17:04 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2012 at 20:17

1The answer to your question is "yes", however I get the impression that that's not what you're looking for. What have you tried?salathe– salathe2012-02-20 20:18:44 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2012 at 20:18

oops sorry <?php if (file_exists('stevymahy.com/xml/test.xml')) { $xml = simplexml_load_file('stevymahy.com/xml/test.xml'); print_r($xml); } else { exit('Cannot open the xml file.'); } ?>user367864– user3678642012-02-20 20:32:18 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2012 at 20:32

WEll first of all: http://www.stevymahy.com/xml/test.xml has malformed XML. You will not be able to parse this document until its fixed.
Whats up there now
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mahy>
<!-- Diaporama -->
<diaporama duree="4">
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/stevy01_001.jpg"></photo>
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/stevy05_001.jpg"></photo>
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/stevy06_001.jpg"></photo>
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/DSC_8133-Modifier.jpg"></photo>
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/appuyevelo.jpg"></photo>
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/atriumplus.jpg"></photo>
<photo fichier="/admin/uploads/balancoirine.jpg"></photo>
</diaporama>
<!-- Biographie -->
<bio textetaille="16" ><![CDATA[jhkjdhgkjdhgjksdghkjshgjkshdgjkhsdgjksdhgjksdhgkj]]></bio>
It just trails off... EDIT: I've posted the full XML. It doesn't trail off (anymore?). However the diaporama and bio elements must be contained in a common root node. so maybe wrap everything in <root>
After you get that fixed
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php
// Get the contents of the XML
$str_xml = file_get_contents('http://www.stevymahy.com/xml/test.xml');
// Parse the XML
$obj_xml = new SimpleXMLElement($str_xml);
// ...do something with the parsed XML object

Check to see if your XML is valid: validator.w3.org/…
