Get secure xml data using php?

• Hi, i need to retrieve this data using php: https://secure.mollie.nl/xml/ideal?a=banklist&testmode=true How do i approach this?

• Answer:

  If your problem is te XML, you can use the solution showed at http://php.net/manual/en/class.simplexmliterator.php (it is a function that even transforms the data into an array) If the problem is that the XML is secure (HTTPS) then you have to use cURL : $url='https://secure.mollie.nl/xml/ide… $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Next line configures cURL to accept any server(peer) certificate. // This isn’t optimal from a security point of view curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);
