Kanedogg…I hear your pain, I’ve been where you are now. I think you might find the Yahoo developers kit most helpful. The kit comes with easy to use and understand examples and templates. You can view the one I produced here, it is different than the example code presented here. Good Luck and understand there are answers, just not always easy to find.

Peoples could someone please give me another example of how i could return the results ?? instead of the simpleXMLElement.
I would like to see if i can get another way working, maybe even a print_r or Return? i’m unsure of php as i dont know it at all. Thanks in advance.

Hi kanedogg,
I was having same trouble with the simplexmlElement too. What I did, which seemed to work, is copy over that entire segment with a successful segment that can be found here on this page…just follow one of the links to see and copy the code. I ’saved as’ a php file then uploaded to my server. That seemed to clear up whatever bug I had with my program after making sure my server was running php5.

Hello All,
Just posted a request for help with the a”$results = new SimpleXmlElement($data, LIBXML_NOCDATA);”… my solution, and it could be yours too, make sure the web server you’re hosting the file from has PHP5 enabled. It took care of my difficulties.

Hello,
Having trouble with “$results = new SimpleXmlElement($data, LIBXML_NOCDATA);”….is there a work around for this?Also, it was mentioned in an earlier post to use PHP5…..is it suggested to use an editor with PHP5 or make sure the web host server is up to date with PHP5? (perhaps both).
