Hi there all,
this is the code i currently have:
$theurl = "http://121.98.150.62:5574/MENU.XML";;
$ch = curl_init();
//curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
array("REMOTE_ADDR: $ip",
"HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: $ip"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $theurl );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']);
echo "SERVER PORT: ".$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('Expect:'));
$xmlresponse = curl_exec($ch );
echo curl_error($ch);
echo $xmlresponse;curl_close($ch);
can anyone see any errors as to why curl is not getting the xml from the url?
