simplexml_load_file() returns empty object

Question

I have a url to an xml file and when I visit it in my browser it looks good. With the following script however a lot of information seems to be missing:

<?php

    $xml_url = "example.xml";
    $xml = simplexml_load_file($xml_url);
    print_r($xml);

?>

What's going wrong?

EDIT: when I view the xml file in my browser, the data is shown between these: <![CDATA[ ]]> Maybe that helps.

Hey Bart, nope :( here's a screenshot of the result: gyazo.com/35c34353459497f74d9448b859cd2710.png — Ben Rogmans

The print() call does not display all information. Do

echo $xml->asXML();
