    $profileData = simplexml_load_string($url);

    if         


        

Answer 1

You are loading the URL as your XML source. You should have:

$profileData = simplexml_load_file($url);

Answer 2

Url was changing from steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197991676121/?xml=1 to http://steamcommunity.com/id/virusbogdan/?xml=1 . Obviously the first link returns null so there was an error. Problem solved !
