Re: Re: $35 to the first person who can do this XML-parsing PHP script

Ok, well at least I'm honing in on the problems now. I appears that my ISP is only running php 4.4.4. So back in the PHP 4-days, what was the preferred method of doing such things? - Rob On Mar 8, 2007, at 3:13 PM, Ben Ramsey wrote:

1) Read XML data from an URL (www.librarytools.com/events/sampledata.txt) 2) Loop through all XML results and print to the screen the "eventname" and "eventnextoccurrencedate" (Just the date) values I'll probably kick myself once I see how easy it is, but I'm willing to pay to see it working. 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/ --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
