[FX.php List] XML response page (need help)

[Leo R. Lundgren]

I see.

For reference, check out the PHP manual at http://www.php.net/manual/ 
en/features.remote-files.php , it describes a bit about "Remote  
Files", which is a feature of PHP which lets you read the contents of  
remote files like they were local. In order to do this though, you  
must be allowed to by the settings in php.ini (mainly  
"allow_url_fopen").

Check the setting of allow_url_fopen by doing a phpinfo(); in your  
code, and then if it is enabled you could use for example http:// 
se.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php to get the entire  
contents as a string right away.

If the setting does not allow remote files you need to either change  
the setting, or use other means of communicating with the remote page  
(for example networking functions, if they are allowed).
