Question

PHP version: 7.4.30

I use simplexml_load_file php function,

$rss = simplexml_load_file($url, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

xml rss file [example]:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"

Answer 1

I changed this line to xml rss JP characters to correct it. all is well.

$rss = simplexml_load_file($rsses[$i]['url'], 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

to

$feed = file_get_contents($rsses[$i]['url']);
$rss = simplexml_load_string($feed);
