Problems getting XML content via https using SimpleXML and PHP

I have the URL:

Which loads a file like this one:

<calendars>
    <calendar accommodation_id="1234567">
        <day date="2012-08-09" vacancy="false" minimum_nights="7" arrival_day="true"/>
        <day date="2012-08-10" vacancy="false" minimum_nights="3" arrival_day="true"/>
        <day date="2012-08-11" vacancy="false" minimum_nights="3" arrival_day="true"/>
        ...
        <day date="2014-01-31" vacancy="true" minimum_nights="3" arrival_day="true"/>
    </calendar>
</calendars>

For some reason my script won't let me get the contents of this file. I'm using the same script as i have been with other URLs but this will always fail.

My script is:

$accom2 = file_get_contents();

print_r($accom2);

Is there something I need to do for this type of URL?

Answer 1

Have you tried simplexml_load_file, I tested it's working for me

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('https://www.casapilot.com/api/1/accommodations/calendar.xml?auth_token=hyXHjP8QdrRuX8q3FsbC&id[]=1049165');

print_r($xml);
?>
