PHP - XML

[paulocon]

Hi all,

I am relatively new to the world of PHP and have used it primarily as a methodology for providing content managed websites backended with MySQL.

I have been asked to do something a bit different now - basically provide some real-time quotes on my client's website. They have a deal with a third party which will supply these quotes via XML. Basically, I need to post the XML to them and they will return the quotes as XML.

I can test for example by:

www.testdomain.com/interface1.php?xml=<Inputs><Authenticate><Username>myuser</Username><Password>mypasswd</Password>.....

When I do this, I get a php page with the results displayed (when I view source, it is an XML doc)..

Now, I need access to the returned info from within my PHP code - just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as regards reading material, examples etc as I'm a bit stuck!!

Regards,
Paul

check out curl and fopen. You can also use gile_get_contents. I prefer the curl method.

If you have PHP5, I would use [man]simplexml_load_file[/man]

Hosting company is running PH4 so that probably narrows down my options a but.

Anyone know where I can get hold of sample code?
