$data = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($url));
Is there a php4 version of this or does this only work in 5? How can I get
around it?

Try to do a search in PEAR.PHP.NET
I remember I've seen something like this for php4, but not sure where.

There might be a user-space generic XML parser available somewhere, but
nothing that will map directly to SimpleXML. SimpleXML uses language
features that don't exist in PHP 4. The best answer is to use PHP 5 and let
PHP 4 die a respectable death, as most of the world seems to have decided to
do[1].

If you absolutely have to support PHP 4, be prepared for a rather long
and tedious testing period where various funky things in different XML
incarnations will break whichever XML package reader you choose.
At least, that was my experience in all PHP XML solutions before PHP 5.
There are 3 to choose from in PHP 4, I think, plus at least one
popular one that's not built-in, but is just more PHP code.
As Larry points out, dealing with XML is a VERY good reason to go with
PHP 5 and abandon PHP 4.
While nobody can guarantee the next 6 months or year outlook of PHP 4,
I would expect a lot of webhosts are going to phase it out now that an
official EOL has been announced.
