I guess I'm just wondering where to start at. I can get as far as
making the URI that needs to be queried, but then returning the
results is where I am a little stuck at. I was thinking something
like:
$isbn = $_GET["query"];
$key = "XXXXXXXX";
$link = "http://isbndb.com/api/books.xml?access_key=" . $key .
"&index1=isbn&value1=" . $isbn;
$xml = @simplexml_load_file($link) or die ("no file loaded") ;
I don't know if that'd be right or not, but I do know that if it is,
I'm not sure how to make sure that data gets returned to the OneBox.
The idea seems simple enough, but I fear I might be just a tad in over
my head.
