Just installed DOMXML and getting error when loading an XML file / string

[bissatch@yahoo.co.uk]

Hi,

I have just managed to install DOMXML on my apache/PHP setup. I am
running PHP 4.3.0 and Apache2.

$xmldoc = domxml_open_fil e("inc/menu.xml",
DOMXML_LOAD_DON T_KEEP_BLANKS);

When I try to load an XML file using the above, it gives me the
following error:

Warning: domxml_open_fil e(): I/O in
C:\apache\Apach e2\htdocs\webde v\cms\inc\menu. php on line 147

Warning: domxml_open_fil e(): warning : in
C:\apache\Apach e2\htdocs\webde v\cms\inc\menu. php on line 147

Warning: domxml_open_fil e(): failed to load external entity
"inc/menu.xml" in C:\apache\Apach e2\htdocs\webde v\cms\inc\menu. php on
line 147


I have also tried to load the contents of the xml file into a string in
the following way:


$content = file_get_conten ts("inc/menu.xml");

$xml_doc = domxml_open_mem ($content, DOMXML_LOAD_DON T_KEEP_BLANKS);


...giving me the following error:


Warning: domxml_open_mem (): Opening and ending tag mismatch: opt line 4
and menu in C:\apache\Apach e2\htdocs\webde v\cms\inc\menu. php on line
147

Warning: domxml_open_mem (): Premature end of data in tag menu line 2 in
C:\apache\Apach e2\htdocs\webde v\cms\inc\menu. php on line 147


Is PHP recognising the DOMXML functions? I have tried using an XML file
that I know works as well as just loading a very simple one in but it
still gives me an error. I also tried using xmldocfile() but I got the
same error. Any ideas?

Can you post the XML you are trying to read?

Re: Just installed DOMXML and getting error when loading an XML file / string

Ok, Ive found something out...

It appears that I need to use the full path of the file. Ive had a
similar problem before with relative paths but got round it using
file_get_cotent s() and domxml_open_mem () but this time it wont let me.

Why is it that I have used DOMXML plenty of times before and havent had
many instances with relative paths. Is this a configuration problem? Or
maybe its a Windows thing?

Is there a way to get the full path of a relative file and store it in
a string prior to using domxml_open_fil e() as I transfer stuff from my
own computer to a server.

One thing I just spotted in the manual page for domxml_open_mem ():

"There is some interesting feature with "magic_quotes_r untime" ini
directive and "domxml_open_me m" function.
If we have "magic_quotes_r untime=on" in out php.ini file, this code
generates many warning
$xml_str = file_get_conten ts($xml_file));
$Document = domxml_open_mem ($xml_str));
if "magic_quotes_r untime=off" all is good."


Does this help?

Check out $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
