XML - PHP problem

[p4c19]

Hi,

I would so very much appreciate any help anyone can give regarding the following problem.

I am using a flash slideshow which obtains the image info from an XML file. I created a file to output the image info from a MySQL database. When echoing the info it all seems to read ok.

this is the hard coded version which works fine and the images are seen:

<Slides>
<slideNode jpegURL='clients/dave/7.jpg'>River Avon</slideNode>

<slideNode jpegURL='clients/dave/8.jpg'>Mud and Water</slideNode>

<slideNode jpegURL='images/dave/hpim0114.jpg'>Blue knot</slideNode>
<slideNode jpegURL='images/dave/hpim0130.jpg'>River Avon</slideNode>

</Slides>

here is the output when retrieved from the database when the required varibale is passed from the previous page yet does not generate the images:

<Slides>
<slideNode jpegURL='clients/dave/7.jpg'>River Avon</slideNode>

<slideNode jpegURL='clients/dave/8.jpg'>Mud and Water</slideNode>

<slideNode jpegURL='images/dave/hpim0114.jpg'>Blue knot</slideNode>
<slideNode jpegURL='images/dave/hpim0130.jpg'>River Avon</slideNode>

</Slides>

I am absolutely stumped. The hard coded version obtains the varible like this:

$client = "dave";

the dynamic version obtains he variable like this:

$client = $_GET['client_name'];

As mentioned above the output looks identical yet the attempt to input the variable that has been generated dynamically will not out put the images?!

Please can someone help me?

Kind regards

Ollie

but what exactly is it ur tryin to do. is it that u are:

1. retreiving data from a MySQL db?
2. converting it to XML(with php)?
3. loading it into your flash slide show to read then display?

but im confused with what your having trouble with, using php to display the image or flash?

sorry if i've mis-understood your post?
