echo or include multiple xml files in php page

Question

I wish to create a list of XML files in a php file.

I need all my xml files to be included in my php file. I have this working see below.

<?php header('Content-type: application/xml'); echo file_get_contents("exam1.xml");

when I try this it works well, now I try more than one.

 <?php header('Content-type: application/xml'); echo file_get_contents("exam1.xml"); echo file_get_contents("exam2.xml");

it dose not read any of the files.

maybe u need to to save them in variables $var1 = file_get_contents("exam1.xml"); $var2=file_get_contents("exam2.xml"); than echo variables. also check var_dump() — devpro

Are you trying to make these files download to the browser so the user can save them or are you trying to render the contents on a page? — RiggsFolly

I would try passing these files back in a JSON object.

Create an array of files and then json_encode() that array.

<?php $f1 = file_get_contents("exam1.xml"); $f2 = file_get_contents("exam2.xml"); $response = array('files' => array($f1, $f2)); echo json_encode($response); ?>

Now you will have a simple json object that you can process in the javascript and place 1 or many xml file(s) whereever you want to on the page using straight forward javascript
