Read php file with content-type xml

I have a php file where I set the header to header ("content-type: text/xml");. When I try to read the file with simplexml_load_file() it returns `false. But if I set the extension to xml, the file will read correctly.

I use php 5.1.6. With version > 5.3 all works fine. Is this a bug in version 5.1.6. What could be the problem?

Thanks

simple_xml_load_file('yourfile.php') will do a file-based open/read, and you'll be loading raw PHP code directly into simplexml. simple_xml_load_file('http://example.com/yourfile.php') will do a full-blown HTTP request and cause yourfile.php to be executed, at which point it should output the xml header and output xml text.

Try get it as file and than load as string:

$str = file_get_contents($file);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($str);
