PHP Simple XML Parser exploding on J2.5

[Christopher Reimer]

Greetings,

I have these two lines of PHP to read a "simple" XML file (fetched via cURL - http://api.plixi.com/api/tpapi.svc/users/5995705 ):

$xml = new SimpleXmlElement($data, LIBXML_NOCDATA);

return (string) $xml->LockerzId;

This works fine with J1.5 on MAMP running on my MacBook. However, an exception is thrown with J2.5 on the live server.

exception 'Exception' with message 'String could not be parsed as XML' in /home/creimer/public_html/software/modules/mod_showlockerz/helper.php:94 Stack trace: #0 /home/creimer/public_html/software/modules/mod_showlockerz/helper.php(94): SimpleXMLElement->__construct('') #1 /home/creimer/public_html/software/modules/mod_showlockerz/mod_showlockerz.php(57): showLockerz::getProfileID('http://api.plix...') #2 /home/creimer/public_html/software/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/joomla/modulehelper.php(188): require('/home/creimer/p...') #3 /home/creimer/public_html/software/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/module.php(106): JModuleHelper::renderModule(Object(stdClass), Array) #4 /home/creimer/public_html/software/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/modules.php(39): JDocumentRendererModule->render(Object(stdClass), Array, NULL) #5 /home/creimer/public_html/software/libraries/joomla/document/html/html.php(371): JDocumentRendererModules->render('user1', Array, NULL) #6 /home/creimer/public_html/software/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/template.php(1394): JDocumentHTML->getBuffer('modules', 'user1', Array) #7 /home/creimer/public_html/software/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/template.php(695): T3Template->getBuffer('modules', 'user1', Array) #8 /home/creimer/public_html/software/templates/ja_purity_ii/index.php(18): T3Template->render() #9 /home/creimer/public_html/software/libraries/joomla/document/html/html.php(531): require('/home/creimer/p...') #10 /home/creimer/public_html/software/libraries/joomla/document/html/html.php(591): JDocumentHTML->_loadTemplate('/home/creimer/p...', 'index.php') #11 /home/creimer/public_html/software/libraries/joomla/document/html/html.php(414): JDocumentHTML->_fetchTemplate(Array) #12 /home/creimer/public_html/software/includes/application.php(249): JDocumentHTML->parse(Array) #13 /home/creimer/public_html/software/index.php(48): JSite->render() #14 {main}

Would safe mode on the J2.5 live server be causing this problem?

I tried looking at Joomla XML parser but the documentation was lacking any practical examples for something similar to the two lines of PHP code.

Thank you,

I installed J1.5 on the live server. The module works fine with the same code. Not sure why it isn't working on J2.5.

The J2.5 manifest file had an incorrect value (i.e., bad user ID number) than the one used in the J1.5 manifest file. Need to add a try/catch statement to my code to handle that situation better.

That concludes today's head banging session. :P
