simplexml_load_string

hi guys ,

I’m trying to read from XML file , but I’m getting the following warning


Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in C:\\www\\crm-3\\kml\\readKMLPatch.php on line 23
Call Stack

my script is


if (!function_exists('simplexml_load_file')) exit('<br>function does not exist');
if (file_exists('ss.kml'))
{
	$xml =  simplexml_load_string('ss.kml');
	var_dump($xml);
}
else { exit('<br>Error could not locate XML file'); }

you help will be appreciated

‘ss.kml’
should be
file_get_contents(‘ss.kml’)

yes , i have fixed it …thanks
