Having problem reading xml from url by php load

[Aniruddhya Hazra]

Hello,

I am having a problem reading xml file from url. Please watch my simple code bellow


$dom=new DOMDocument();
$dom->load("https://www.voipinfocenter.com/API/Request.ashx?command=validateuser&username=examplereseller&password=987qwer&customer=excust&customerpassword=1a2b3c");


But the its not being loading rather giving warning as follows -

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "https://www.voipinfocenter.com/API/Request.ashx?command=validateuser&username=examplereseller&password=987qwer&customer=excust&customerpassword=1a2b3c"

But you can see from browser with the url https://www.voipinfocenter.com/API/Request.ashx?command=validateuser&username=examplereseller&password=987qwer&customer=excust&customerpassword=1a2b3c

It's giving output as bellow
<ValidateUser>
<Customer>excust*examplereseller</Customer>
<Result>Failed</Result>
<Reason>Reseller/Password combination unknown</Reason>
</ValidateUser>

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks.

I tried the code and it works just fine for me. It's probably your PHP configuration.

[Aniruddhya Hazra]

Can you please tell me? What configuration could it be?

[Aniruddhya Hazra]

Still I could not do it. Can any one please help?

Thanks.

[JShor]

Is the configuration on a server that you have access to php.ini and can restart? If not, contact your hosting provider.

[Aniruddhya Hazra]

I am using this script in my local server(localhost) with same link and there are a php.ini file. So can you please tell me how to configure the php.ini file? Thanks.

[JShor]

You can change php.ini to accept external URL's by changing the key, allow_url_fopen to On.

However, this poses a huge security risk to your machine. I would recommend using cURL.

[Aniruddhya Hazra]

Thank you. I uploaded the code to another remote server and found it to work properly.

It worked there. For now my problem is solved. But in my local machine its not working though allow_url_fopen is set to On already.

Any ways its not that required now to my local machine.

Thank you very much.

[JShor]

You're welcome. Since it's your local machine, it could also be that your firewall is blocking external loads. That might be helpful in the future.
