Unable to read a XML file hosted on an external Web server

[Webaluc 0]

Hi PHP folks!

I was wondering if PHP could provide a solution to this Javascript problem?

You can use the cURL library to request data from any server.

This example comes from the PHP manual page for curl_exec():

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>
