Hi all,

I would like to recover some data of the XML file to display them with PHP :
<author> .....</author>
<version> ....</version>
etc

I've tried this :
Code:
<?php echo $this->xml->version;?>

It's a shame :'(

Any solution will be very appreciate !
Thanks in advance,

Regards

Code asumes that you use it in your index.php file from your template and it loads the templateDetails xml file, if you need another file change the path
Code:
$xml = simplexml_load_file(__DIR__ .'/templateDetails.xml');
echo htmlentities((string) $xml->author);

Thanks you for your answer.

This is about a component, so I should write :
Code:
$xml = simplexml_load_file(__DIR__ .'components/com_name-of-the-component/file.xml');

and add :
Code:
<?php echo htmlentities((string) $xml->author); ?>

in the default.php file where I want to diplay these datas.

but I stll have the same notice :
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\wamp\www\......

then your path to the file is wrong, also both lines should be in the same file

Thanks again.
Yes, the two lines are in "default.php"

I will try to change the path to the XML file.

in your code above you missed a slash after the __DIR__, should be __DIR__.'/folder/file.xml'
also __DIR__ points to the current folder, for the path you posted try
JPATH_SITE .'/components/com_name-of-the-component/file.xml'
