XML Parsing Error: no element found (help? *puppy eyes*)

[kyla]

I just started a course on xml and I am completely lost in a number of places. Just when I thought I figured everything out, I get this error:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Me/Desktop/xml%20assign/doc.xml
Line Number 79, Column 11:</invoice>

and here is my xml document:

I can't figure out what's wrong or what I'm missing, any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I'm a cat person myself; I prefer the taste. However, you seem to have forgotten to close your root element "document".

[kyla]

Wow, how completely embarressed I am for neglecting to see that simple error. Thank you very much for pointing that out Charles!

i see where she made a simple mistake and that caused her error i presume. I'm having difficulties getting a rate request back from UPS using a script that works on one server but does not work with the same code on a different server. I keep getting the error no element found at line 1 which is returned from

if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, TRUE)) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d", xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}

does that error occur when the response is not received, or is formed wrong?

Is that PHP 4 that you're using there? jonnyfive?

[jonnyfive]

its php 4.4.0 .. what i'm trying to do is get shipping rates from UPS. funny thing is that on one server i already have the code written in php using cUrl to get the rates. that php version is 4.3.11 and it works . on the server with php 4.4.0 installed i get the error message no element found at line 1. when i echo the data that comes back from UPS, it shows "0" . I'm just wondering if i'm getting any data back or not. I just don't know the version differences enough to be able to pinpoint why the request from the server with 4.4.0 is answered with a 0 whereas the other server works fine.. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jonnyfive

I think your problem is that XML in PHP 4 is a bit cack. There are a few ways to handle XML in PHP 4, they are all different, and as far as I know, none of them properly comply with any standards. To make matters worse, the behaviour of each method of handling XML in PHP 4 can vary significantly (or just not work at all) depending on which XML libraries your PHP module links to and which version of the library it uses is too.

I think the first thing you should check is which versions of libxml each server has installed. Try to get them matched up.
