Feel free to email me off-list.

If you're using PHP 5, take a look at SimpleXML. This is extremely easy to do. http://www.php.net/simplexml Take a look at Example 2134 on that page to get you started, and see http://www.php.net/simplexml_load_file to load XML from a URL. Do I get the $35 anyway for the consultation? ;-) -- Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com/
