Parse XML file with PHP

$XMLDoc is of type SimpleXMLElement.

I think you could change this line:

foreach($XMLDoc->Data->Record as $Record)

to this line:

foreach($XMLDoc->Record as $Record)

For example:

foreach($XMLDoc->Record as $Record)
{
    echo (string)$Record->Type;
    echo (string)$Record->Building_ID;
    echo "<br>";
}

Will result in:

BUILDING0000_00
SITE0001

Parse XML file from url using php

Seems like there is some redirection problem in the url you are accessing, and most probably simplexml_load_file() doesn't follow redirects...

So the solution would be to use file_get_contents() or cUrl...

As file_get_contents() is easier, I am showing that only...

The code would have to be something like:

<?php

    $xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://example_page.ugu.pl/api/test.xml'));

?>

More:

<?php

    $xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://jakdojade.pl/pages/api/outputs/schedules.xml'));

?>

^ That too, totally works!

Load and parse XML file with PHP

Here's a couple of pointers..

To download a file and save it, the easiest way I have found is this:

<?php

file_put_contents('saved.xml', file_get_contents('http://www.xmlfiles.com/examples/simple.xml'));

You can then open the file with the simpleXML library like so:

$xml = simplexml_load_file('saved.xml');
var_dump($xml);

Hope that gives you enough info to get started.

See simpleXML for info on the simpleXML library.

How to parse xml with php?

You can use SimpleXML_Load_String.

<?php // RAY_temp_burhan.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo '<pre>';

$xml = <<<ENDXML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<eqlist>
    <earhquake  name="2012.12.31 18:35:13"  lokasyon="CAMONU-AKHISAR (MANISA)                           Ilksel" lat="38.9572"   lng="27.8965"   mag="2.9" Depth="5.0" />
    <earhquake  name="2012.12.31 18:54:09"  lokasyon="VAN GÖLÜ                                          Ilksel" lat="38.7273"   lng="43.1598"   mag="2.3" Depth="2.1" />

</eqlist>
ENDXML;

// CONVERT TO AN OBJECT
$obj = SimpleXML_Load_String($xml);

// PARSE OUT SOME ATTRIBUTES
foreach ($obj as $quake)
{
    // ATTRIBUTE NAMES ARE CASE-SENSITIVE
    $loc = $quake->attributes()->lokasyon;
    $dep = $quake->attributes()->Depth;
    echo PHP_EOL . "$loc $dep";
}

How to parse xml file using php script

You need to get an apply the namespace to the children. http://php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.getnamespaces.php

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>werwer</title>
        <link>werwerwe</link>

        <item>
            <g:id>704667</g:id>
            <title>Nike</title>
            <description>erterterter</description>
        </item>

        <item>
            <g:id>4456456</g:id>
            <title>Nike</title>
            <description>erterterter</description>
        </item>

    </channel>
</rss>';

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
$ns = $xml->getNamespaces(true);

foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) {
    echo $item->children($ns['g'])->id.PHP_EOL;
}
/*
704667
4456456
*/

PHP Import / Parse XML File Content Save To Database

Try this:

foreach ($newXML['sms'] as $attrib) {
    $date = $attrib["@attributes"]["date"];
    $body = $attrib["@attributes"]["body"];
    echo $date . " - " . $body; 
}

i can't read and parse xml file in php

Here's one for you:

<?php
$xmldata = file_get_contents("https://egytech4uu.herokuapp.com/data.xml");
$xmlparser = xml_parser_create();
$arr = [];
xml_parse_into_struct($xmlparser, $xmldata, $arr);
xml_parser_free($xmlparser);
print_r($arr);

So what's going there? It returns a flat array, but for each node at least we can see its level. As mentioned in the comments, this is not the best way to parse XML, only a last resort kind of thing.

How to parse a remote XML file with PHP?

I have no idea which information you want to extract so here is an example how to get the attributes 'id' and 'slug' from all market nodes.

Just add compress.zlib:// to your url to get the xml, for PHP 4.3.0 and up

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('compress.zlib://http://smarkets.s3.amazonaws.com/oddsfeed.xml') or die("Error: Cannot create object");

foreach ($xml->event as $item) {
    echo $item->market['id'] . "<br>" . $item->market['slug'] . "<br><br>";
}
?>
