I want to access a file that is on a server that has an SSL certificate as well as a username/password auth and save it to a string. This is what I'm trying:
$site = "https://user:pass@hostname";
$xml_page = file_get_contents($site);
echo $xml_page;
This is what I'm getting:
Warning: file_get_contents(https://user:pass@hostname) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/xmlparser/parse.php on line 17
I'm not sure if openSSL is installed, but would that cause a "no such file" warning? What else could I try to accomplish this?

open up a phpinfo() and see what allow_url_fopen is set to. If its set to 0 then it should disable opening a remote URL with file_get_contents
you may be able to override it with php_admin_value 3/9/2009 5:45:01 PM |

I got it working with curl. However, I'm having a problem parsing a string containing xml code that is formatted the following way:
<?xml ...>
<GetColorList>
<ColorList>
<Color Name="Red" IsDefined="0" IsPresent="1">
<Color Name="Blue" IsDefined="0" IsPresent="0">
<Color Name="Green" IsDefined="0" IsPresent="1">
</ColorList>
</GetColorList>
How do I parse it in such a way where I can get just the color name and then the status of IsPresent displayed together, like so:
Red 1
Blue 0
Green 1
I've tried using explode() as well as a tokenizer, but I can't seem to think of a way to do this off the top of my head. I've also tried playing around with php's built-in xml parsers but it doesn't seem to work on the inside of the tags. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
