I was wanting to know if PHP would work for a project I am trying to get done. I am new to PHP and would like some help. I want to know how to get data from a XML page like a credit report and then score it. For example if it is a 700 score it would give my client instant approval and 660 and below it would go through each trade line and depending on how many bad accounts it would give an approval or turn down. Is PHP what I need to be learning and if so and thought on how to get on track.
Thanks
If you want to do this via a browser, then PHP can do it, along with many other things (Java, Flash, perl etc...).
I'd have to say PHP is probably the easiest to learn, because of this site
php.net
Do a search for XML and you are on your way.
