simplexml error handling php

Question

I am using the following code:

function GetTwitterAvatar($username){
$xml = simplexml_load_file(\"http://twitter.com/users/\".$username.\".xml\");
$imgurl =          


        

Answer 1

If you look at the manual, there is an options parameter:

SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_file ( string $filename [, string $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement" [, int $options = 0 [, string $ns = "" [, bool $is_prefix = false ]]]] )

Options list is available: http://www.php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php

This is the correct way to suppress warnings parsing warnings:

$xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml', 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOWARNING);
