It's like it never ends with me. But atleast I'm keeping the posts to a minimum (see, RJ, even the worst of us can get better)

Anyway, here's the problem or issue i'm having right now:

I've been working on this little project that has to use a massive CD database. Instead of building my own, I'm using Amazon AWS to query the Amazon.com database.

the only problem i'm having now is that when you query the Amazon database, it returns it's results in an XML format. Now, I went and looked up (& learned) how to parse XML data so you can use it via PHP but the script has a problem looking at it.

Here's the an example query:
http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&AWSAccessKeyId=0K81T7NMS9YB9YRNYBG2&Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=Music&Artist=mos%20def

ANY help on this would be extremely appreciated

if u know the expected xml file and you can parse it, why is there a problem ?

are YOU able to parse it? because i can't seem to

i only ever parsed in java

whats wrong with that?

please?

You can see if this site helps..

http://www.w3schools.com/

It has a ton of free tutorials including PHP, XML, & RSS.

I'm actually just started wokring with .NET ( ASP w/ C# ) so I'm not sure if I can give you much help with PHP. I am actually looking to work with a guy on a project who knows PHP pretty well so I'll ask him when I talk to him..

Let me know if you figure it out..
