Blank screen of death on simple widget help

[scrtmtl]

HI,
xampp 1.7.4

I have ran two or three large development application with above environment. Wanted to display the weather forecast in the application. Downloaded the weather script and ran it to receive the blank screen of death. Converse with author to finally get the script that he ran, whereby it works for him but not in my above environment of xampp 1.7.4

Only possible scenario is to ask if anything wrong with xampp or what did I fail to do which in xampp, Appreciate any help for I have nothing to work on since I am seeing a blank screen. Never ran parsexml stuff but author provided exact code that ran on his server to thus do no change or mod.

Here is the content of the weather widget. First code block is index. Second block of code is ParseXml.class Both are file type php. Two php snippet place in a folder called anita. Thus I have xammp running in firefox with http://localhost/anita/
I would have attached the content and next best is to post the content with details and what i did. Again, appreciate the time you took to look at post and to provide any help.

<?php
 
$geoplugin = unserialize( file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip=' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) );
 
if ( is_numeric($geoplugin['geoplugin_latitude']) && is_numeric($geoplugin['geoplugin_longitude']) ) {
 
   $lat = $geoplugin['geoplugin_latitude'];
   $long = $geoplugin['geoplugin_longitude'];
   //set farenheight for US
   if ($geoplugin['geoplugin_countryCode'] == 'US') {
      $tempScale = 'fahrenheit';
      $tempUnit = '&deg;F';
   } else {
      $tempScale = 'celsius';
      $tempUnit = '&deg;C';
   }
   require_once('ParseXml.class.php');
 
   $xml = new ParseXml();
   $xml->LoadRemote("http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query={$lat},{$long}", 3);
   $dataArray = $xml->ToArray();
 
   $html = "<center><h2>Weather forecast for " . $geoplugin['geoplugin_city'];
   $html .= "</h2><table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=10><tr>";
 
   foreach ($dataArray['simpleforecast']['forecastday'] as $arr) {
 
      $html .= "<td align='center'>" . $arr['date']['weekday'] . "<br />";
      $html .= "<img src='http://icons-pe.wxug.com/i/c/a/" . $arr['icon'] . ".gif' border=0 /><br />";
      $html .= "<font color='red'>" . $arr['high'][$tempScale] . $tempUnit . " </font>";
      $html .= "<font color='blue'>" . $arr['low'][$tempScale] . $tempUnit . "</font>";
      $html .= "</td>";
 
 
   }
   $html .= "</tr></table>";
 
   echo $html;
}
 
?>


ParseXml.class of type php is directly below in the code block.
