Setting up a script to scrape and copy an XML feed

[writer]

I'm wondering if there's a way to copy remote XML data using a script with a cronjob put on it.

 

Has anyone ever seen something like this?

Of course it's possible, it's just like any other script....make the script and just give it to cron.

I take it by your tone that there's a really easy way to copy an XML file?

Copy it?  Just download it and save it?

 

$path = "http://www.example.com/test.xml";

$xml = file_get_contents($path);

$name = substr($path, strrpos("/", $path"), strlen($path));

$file = fopen($name . time(), "w");

fwrite($file, $xml);

fclose($file);

 

O_O

Thanks for the code!

 

Hmm. Any way around this?
