XML Parsing error : Extra content at the end of the document

Question

Firstly , good day to everyone. I have this script which handles the login to my database : http://pastebin.com/ctUEczRf I used pastebin because it was too long to use code tags. When I run it It returns me this :

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 2 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

I don't know how to solve it , I never used XML before. This was given to me along with the CMS.

Answer 1

Pasting the XML that's generated is probably what you'd need to do. My guess is that you are generating XML with multiple top-level elements; XML requires that you have a single wrapper element at the top level and have all other elements inside it: it's a tree, not a forest.

My second guess is that you are seeing the error in your Web browser, and it is not being generated by php at all; check your Web server error logs to make sure.

Answer 2

Look at the XML. It should look something like the following:

<block>
    <item>Here's an item</item>
    <item>Here's another item</item>
    <item>Here's an item with some sub-items
        <subitem>one</subitem>
        <subitem>two</subitem>
    </item>
</block>

The root of the XML document is the block item; it's the item that encloses and surrounds all of the other items.

If you don't have a root - ie, if the code looks something like this:

<item>Here's a list of items</item>
<item>But there's no root element</item>

Then you'll get the error you describe.
