Extracting Data From External Xml

[EVE Rage Innovat...]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for taking the time to look over my query.

I am designing a website for my industrial corporation in EVE-Online. EVE has an in-game-browser(IGB). This sends headers when a site has been trusted (This is not secure enough for auth). I plan to take these headers to allow people a quicker log in (think of it as a 'remember my email address' type thing).

IGB sends headers, my site gets headers, checks the CharacterID against my current DB, if found, requests password, once accepted, VIOLA! If NOT found, then a registration process takes place.

I'm fairly comfortable with how to go about things up to here... (although I might come back for questions later)

But then...
The site will need to pull data off a secure, remote XML for certain requests.
An example of which is
"https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterInfo...cterID=92156456"
That's me

I would like to then take the data, and check it. For example, if <corporationID>312619810</corporationID> has changed since my last log in, then I would be denied access. Can't have people who've quit the corporation in anymore.

I originally tried

CODE

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file("https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterInfo.xml.aspx?CharacterID=92156456");

foreach($xml->result->children() as $child)

foreach($child->attributes() as $a => $b)
?>

which returned

Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterInfo.xml.aspx?CharacterID=92156456" in /www/zymichost.com/s/h/i/shipyard/htdocs/getit.php on line 2

Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /www/zymichost.com/s/h/i/shipyard/htdocs/getit.php on line 4

So I then attempted to cURL to parse the xml, and save it. But it seems cURL is not supported.

I have since found out that Zymic doesn't allow remote connections.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again for taking the time to read this,

as stated on the IRC, all remote connections are disable on Zymic
