Huh? Look at the XML that is not XML?
It's XML alright. Here's something to get you started:
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load("http://services.mobile.de/ ...yadda...");
$result = [];
$items = $doc->documentElement->getElementsByTagName("item");
foreach ($items as $item) {
$result[] =[
"key" => $item->getAttribute("key"),
"url" => $item->getAttribute("url"),
"description" => $item->textContent,
];
}
print_r($result);
Assumes you can open remote files (i.e. that allow_url_fopen is enabled)
and that the XML namespaces are not important for your task.

Thank you very much. Your script was not working at once so i do some changes and get it work in a few minutes.
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load("http://services.mobile.de/1.0.0/refdata/sites/GERMANY/classes/Car/makes");
$items = $doc->documentElement->getElementsByTagName("item");
foreach ($items as $item) {
$key=$item->getAttribute("key");
$description=$item->textContent;
echo "$key - $description<br>";
}
die(date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'));
?>
Maybe not so professional or fast as your solution but it works for me.
The values are only to load once a week into a database.

Looking good.
I'm guessing that the reason why my version didn't run for you was this:
$result = [];
..
$result[] = [ ..... ];
That's PHP 5.4 syntax. Sorry, I got used to it so quickly that I keep
forgetting about backward compatibility. In 5.3 you'd write:
$result = array();
..
$result[] = array( ..... );
Everything else should work fine in 5.3, I think.
Ah, one more thing: the "->documentElement" part can be removed, it
doesn't do anything. That was accidentally left in the example while I
was trying something else.
regards,
5er

Hi 5er,
indeed this line was not working.
Everthings works fine execpt i have a problem with getting some special characters right in the database.
'Düvelsdor' in the XML results in 'Dücker' when loading in the DOM object and appears in this way in the database ??
Do you know a solution ?
Frank.

Seems to be UTF-8.

Use the proper encoding.
