Hi guys and girls
I'm not a very experienced website builder. I use a "do it yourself" page which is pretty easy to use. My problem is a client has sent me a feed link in XML. I can't work out how to get my HTML editor to read it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

What editor do you use? Any text editor is able to read an XML file and all other plain text files.

What are you supposed to do with the XML? Is it to put an RSS feed on the site?

Thanks for the response BTW Seems like a bit of confusion here: any text editor can read an XML file, since it's just a "text file" format. But unless this is a once-off, and you just want to extract the text manually, that isn't a very good start. But you didn't answer Pandy's question anyway... _what_ is a "do-it-yourself site"?? What does it mean for a "site" to only be able to "handle" html? Probably you want to write a script to read (parse) the XML feed, and use it to generate the desired HTML. Should be fairly simple, but the PHP manual offers a baffling number of different systems for handling XML, so it needs a bit of work... -------------------- Brian Chandler
