php - Parsing XML Fail -

i have old site uses xml path, reads , shows desired content.

i used create new page, different xml-url.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <items>   <item>     <link>http://www.url.to/image.html</link>     <itemname>teapot</itemname>     <city>munich</city>     <countryid>de</countryid>     <desc>       <![cdata[here comes item description]]>     </desc>     <imageurl>http://www.url.to/image.jpg</imageurl>   </item> </items> 

thats how items created. plain , simple.

the php code generates site looks simple this:

<?php     //###################config start#########################     $maxanzahl = 50;     $zaehler = 4;     //###################config end#########################         $feed = simplexml_load_file('http://www.domain.tld/path-to-xml.php&filter1=rule1&filter2=rule2');         $items = $feed->items;         foreach ($items->item $item) {         if ($item->city == "munich") {         echo "<div class='4u'>";         echo "<article class='box style2'>";         echo "<a href='".link."' class='image featured' target='_blank'><img src='".imageurl."' alt=".itemname." /> </a>";         echo "<h3><a href='".link."'>".itemname."</a></h3>";         echo "</article>";         echo "</div>";         }         $zaehler = $zaehler + 1;         if ($zaehler == $maxanzahl) {             break;         }         } ?> 

as see should fine. still, when try load page, tells me warning: invalid argument supplied foreach() in /home/user/public_html/testfolder/index.php on line 31 while line 31 foreach ($items->item $item) {

looks broke original skript @ place, used winmerge compare both files, , differences there kicked variables out of config part, of no use here anymore, different 'tags' needs looking inside xml url.

would able make out of it?

you must use

$feed = simplexml_load_file('http://www.domain.tld/path-to-xml.php&filter1=rule1&filter2=rule2'); foreach($feed->item $item){ 

root element items not exist in $feed. u must check if $feed->item array or not.

example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <items>   <item>     <link>http://www.url.to/image.html</link>     <itemname>teapot</itemname>     <city>munich</city>     <countryid>de</countryid>     <desc>       <![cdata[here comes item description]]>     </desc>     <imageurl>http://www.url.to/image.jpg</imageurl>   </item>   <item>     <link>http://www.url.to/image.html</link>     <itemname>teapot</itemname>     <city>munich</city>     <countryid>de</countryid>     <desc>       <![cdata[here comes item description]]>     </desc>     <imageurl>http://www.url.to/image.jpg</imageurl>   </item> </items> 

right $feed->item simplexmlelement.

in example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <items>   <item>     <link>http://www.url.to/image.html</link>     <itemname>teapot</itemname>     <city>munich</city>     <countryid>de</countryid>     <desc>       <![cdata[here comes item description]]>     </desc>     <imageurl>http://www.url.to/image.jpg</imageurl>   </item> </items> 

$feed->item array or 2 simplexmlelements.
