Hello, my script parsers data from a external XML file, but my local

My script is simple:

}
$url ="http://somewhere.out.there/pathto/feed/external/thesource/
the_feed_itself.xml";

echo "<strong>The Issue:</strong> <span
class='ekt'>".getValueAttribute($node->Issue)."</span><br />";
}

What do I do in order to get the most recent data when calling this
file? The XML is updated, but not when parsed through this...
I guess you haven't gotten any answers because your question is
confusing. Your simplexml_load_file($url) should fetch the latest
version of the XML. If it isn't, something outside of PHP must be
caching the old file.

Hello Jerry!

Thanks you so much for your reply! I thought about that myself, but
the XML file IS indeed updated when I view the file alone. I tried to
delete everything from all my browseres, but the parsed data were the
same (old). So I really don't know how to grasp this issue.

But your browser isn't involved in fetching the data, so browser cache isn't related. However, if you get fresh data in your browser when you look at it, then some server isn't caching it.

I think you need to look at the XML itself to see what's going on - is it actually changed like you think it is? Without the xml itself or (preferably) a URL, there isn't much we can do here.
