	$soccer->setRequestIp("ip_for_request");
	$result=$soccer->GetLeagueStandingsBySeason(array("league"=>3,"seasonDateString"=>"1314"));
	var_dump($result);
}
catch(XMLSoccerException $e){
	echo "XMLSoccerException: ".$e->getMessage();
}

If you want try a free demo feed, use php code like this:

include("XMLSoccer.php");
try{
	$soccer=new XMLSoccer("your_api_key");
	$soccer->setServiceUrl("http://www.xmlsoccer.com/FootballDataDemo.asmx");
	$result=$soccer->GetFixturesByDateIntervalAndLeague(array("league"=>3,"startDateString"=>"2014-08-01 00:00","endDateString"=>"2014-09-30 00:00"));
	var_dump($result);
}
catch(XMLSoccerException $e){
	echo "XMLSoccerException: ".$e->getMessage();
}

If your connection is very slow then you can set curl timeout using this method:
