load xml content from external xml file to php

Question

I have written simple code to get content from xml file to php.

$xml = simplexml_load_file("http://localhost/xml_load/test_xml.xml");
print_r($xml);

First time It has run successfully but right now it is giving me warning and not executing properly.

Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://localhost/xml_load/test_xml.xml) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> in C:\xampp\htdocs\XML_load\load_file.php on line 2

Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://localhost/xml_load/test_xml.xml" in C:\xampp\htdocs\XML_load\load_file.php on line 2

Check if the file exists now at the given location. It might have been modified by your code the first time that it loaded properly, which is now giving you issues. — web-nomad

No file found on your respective location. Now, either check if your file exist. However, do try to make your local path doesn't based over BASEURL. Add that path further like

$xml = simplexml_load_file("xml/files/myxml.xml"); // PATH TO YOUR FILE.
echo "<pre>"; print_r($xml); "</pre>";

So, how it could recognize your localhost path to production environment? however, it shows that your file is missing the file. Follow this please [link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9998960/1310324)
