    I am using wordpress 2.7
    PHP 5.1 or later requires: no simplexml_load_file()
    This error message has appeared at the top of my blog and I can't seem to get rid of it.
    I am not a PHP code so I will need my hand held on this one.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi Huub,

    That error message, ‘PHP 5.1 or ….’ means that your server (not your local computer) does not use PHP 5.1 (maybe 4.x) so if you can, ask your server administrator to upgrade PHP version. Or, some of them can upgrade it by yourself at server control panel if you have.

    Anyway, ask your server administrator, first.

    Thanks using my widget.

    Hi

    Turned out my host provides PHP5.2.8 but by default .php extentions run on 4.x.

    I needed to change my .htaccess and added the following line to force all .php to run version 5.X

    AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php4 .php3 .php5

    Thanks, it now works. Some css editing and it will look fine ;-)
