If you re trying to read XML generated from a URL without file get contents   then you ll probably want to have a look at cURL

Yes  if you have URL wrappers disabled you should use sockets or  even better  the cURL library   If it s part of your site then refer to it with the file system path  not the web URL   var www      rather than http   domain tld

If the file is local as your comment about SITE PATH suggest  it s pretty simple just execute the script and cache the result in a variable using the output control functions     function print xml data file         include XML DATA FILE DIRECTORY    cms data php       function get xml data         ob start        print xml data file         xml file   ob get contents        ob end clean        return  xml file      If it s remote as lot of others said curl is the way to go  If it isn t present try socket create or fsockopen  If nothing work    change your hosting provider

If you have it available  using curl is your best option   You can see if it is enabled by doing phpinfo   and searching the page for curl   If it is enabled  try this    curl handle curl init    curl setopt  curl handle  CURLOPT URL  SITE PATH    cms data php     xml file   curl exec  curl handle   curl close  curl handle
