Hi All,
I'm not a programmer these days (been years since I have and since
become a lawyer... don't hate me) but a friend asked for a favour and
it's been a while since I cracked out even a basic piece of code so I
said ok.
Anyhow, this script needs to read an RSS feed at the following extremely
long and annoying URL. From what I can work out )my friend didn't know
either) it's a PHP script that publishes the data as an RSS feed. The
URL is as follows.
http://www.mylegalcareer.com.au/content.php/jobresults.html?form_search_e
mployerid=&form_search_employer_label=&form_search_locality=&form_search_
state=&form_search_employertype%5B%5D=&form_search_jobtype%5B%5D=&form_se
arch_practice%5B%5D=&form_search_jobcategory%5B%5D=&form_submit_x=24&form
_submit_y=11&form_submit=Submit&rss=1
Now I've written a small script which essentially reads the output from
that script (which I saved into a file for testing) and prints out the
<title> and <link> elements as a new webpage. The ultimate goal is the
actively feed off the RSS feed and present it in a nice HTML form in an
iframe (which will be used on several websites).
So my question (after my long winded explanation) is how do I access
this data via it's URL? I can't seem to work it out.
The code is as follows.
<?php
if(!$xml=simplexml_load_file('test.xml')){
trigger_error('Error reading XML file',E_USER_ERROR);
}
for ($x = 0; $x<9; $x++) {
echo '<a href=' . $xml->channel[0]->item[$x]->link . '>'.
$xml->channel[0]->item[$x]->title . '</a><br>';
}
?>
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me... it's been a fun
challenge to even get to this point.
