Hi Andrew,

yes of course you can use cURL to retrieve XML data, but the server configuration of getpos allows URL file-access.

On the other hand I tried to use cURL to retrieve the XML data from getpos and they are returned as htmlentities (at least parts of them).

My summary would be that first of all that solution was written to work with getpos service. Second of all, as long as a getpos server configuration allows URL access simplexml_load_file function is faster to use with getpos service, but if you feel like it, you can play with curl_setopt to find a perfect configuration to perform the same task.

cant you just cURL the XML file? wouldn’t that avoid the issue of URL file-access?
