Hello everyone,
Say, I want to retrieve the Today's XML Feed from site A but site A updates their XML Feed on random days.
Also, this XML Feed might have 2 items with the Same Date.
What's the best way to retrieve/display the latest XML Feed Item?
I ask this because it seems like the running time for my loop would be O(n*n) if I'm not wrong.
I should add that my script looks for items created today, then looks for yesterday and if that item is not available, it looks again until it finds something.
Thanks.
