You need to get your host to update PHP. They’re running PHP4, which has been terminated last year. It’s an unsafe PHP version. Tell your host to update to PHP5 and everything will work

Hmm try these URLs:
http://www.cocs-lotro.com/e.php
http://www.cocs-lotro.com/e.phps
Also
http://www.cocs-lotro.com/f.php
http://www.cocs-lotro.com/f.phps
php info on
http://www.cocs-lotro.com/info.php

It seems after
‘$serverXML = simplexml_load_string($feed);’
line, the code stops.
I even tryied to place —-echo “blahblah”;—
right before the end of file but it doent show up :/

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
$feed = curl_exec($ch);

Hmm. You're printing out the entire XML file. Could you change the extention of that file to phps? That way I can see the actual source. Alternatively, send it to me via email: bas@this domain

Had some progress, my ISP supports cURL, but it seems that the "simplexml_load_string" function returns full string of XML file, but there is no further progress. I have the file still on server if u like to check the result plz visit: http://www.cocs-lotro.com/b.php.
Any suggestions welcome

Revealing my secret code? Nah :p What you can do, is use cURL to get the xml file.

A sample:

CODE:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://muer.nl/lotro/serverstatus2.xml');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$feed = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch))
echo "Loading server status failed";
else
{
$serverXML = simplexml_load_string($feed);
foreach ($serverXML->StatusList->Server as $server) {
echo $server->ServerName . ' is ';
echo ($server->ServerStatus == 1 ? 'online':'offline');
echo '
';
}
}
