   I'm trying to load some data into one of my templates using simplexml_load_file. This works fine if the xml file is on some other webspace but as soon as I host it on the space where my wordpress files are it doesn't show. I don't get an error message but nothing happens.

   To ensure I've got the right path I've used the full absolute url to where it is, which works in a browser, but not through the template page. If I switch to the same xml file on another site it works?!?

   Any ideas on how to fix this would be very much appreciated.

   It sounds like your server can't connect to itself correctly over HTTP.

   This happens on some hosts where the webserver doesn't accept connections from itself.

   Why not switch to using a file path rather than a url for the xml file seeing as it is on the same server.

   Thanks Peter. I will look into it.
