I am new to both php and xml. I have a school assignment to update an existing php-based website where I have to display search results from an online library. I can use a url search which returns an XML file that includes tags such as position, title, url, description, date, etc.
I only want to display the title, url (preferably the title should be a link to the url), and description for all of the results on my website's search results (different template as well).
What classes/functions are available to help me do this? I would appreciate any guidance as well as links to online tutorials etc. that would point me in the right direction. I have read about the general aspects of php, and I have experience with Java and C; but I don't know about xml at all.
By the way, the website is running on the school server and has php version 4. I don't think I'll be able to install php 5 but I can probably upload some helper files or something.
Thanks a lot for your help and time. 🙂
