Hi,

If I run:

Code:

$requestAddress = = 'http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestIntersection?lat=39.7549303&lng=-75.5685421&username=archiejr';
 
  $xml_str = file_get_contents($requestAddress,0);
 
  $xml = new SimplexmlElement($xml_str);
 
 echo '<br /><pre>'.print_r($xml);echo '</pre>';

The following is returned:

SimpleXMLElement Object ( [status] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [message] => Please add a username to each call in order for geonames to be able to identify the calling application and count the credits usage. [value] => 10 ) ) )

My username has been added to the call. So why the message?

I get the same message Archie Jr. I've added my username too. Did you find the solution?

Use this:
Code:

 $link = 'http://api.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?postalcode='.$pincode.'&maxRows=10&username=xxxx';
 $xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($link));
 echo $xml->code;
