Im really new to php and im trying to load in data from an external xml feed into a php document, then use that data to generate an output. The xml feed im using is - http://whdn.williamhill.com/pricefe...arketType&classId=1&marketSort=--&filterBIR=N What im trying to do is generate a list of 'markets' and there names, so as the xml feed stands at the time of writing the first 3 items in the list would be :
  • Scottish Division 1 - Outright - Outright
  • Dumbarton v Hamilton - 1st Half Result/2nd Half Result
  • Dumbarton v Hamilton - Match Handicaps
at the moment im trying to use the code bellow to achieve this, but im getting nowhere quickly with it, any ideas on what im doing wrong here ?just a further piece of background, im using php 5.4.4, am i right in thinking that simplexml comes already pre installed.. so i dont need to add any thing additional here ?\[code\]<?php $xml = simplexml_load_file('http://whdn.williamhill.com/pricefeed/openbet_cdn?action=template&template=getHierarchyByMarketType&classId=1&marketSort=--&filterBIR=N');foreach ($xml->market as $event) { echo $event;}?>\[/code\]
