Graxeon Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 If you know of a script or a tutorial that explains this (in TOTAL NEWBIE form), then please give me the link. I have checked this tutorial but can't make sense of it: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/handling-xml-data/page2 Ok so... I would like to retrieve the url in this line: <media:content url="http://content.movies.myspace.com/0020238/44/22/2023812244.flv" type="video/x-flv" medium="video" duration="221"/> That line comes from this document: http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/rss.ashx?type=video&mediaID=8255294 I would like for that URL to be copied and brought back to the user in a form of redirecting. So say I have this: msflv.php User asks to get the URL of the video with the id of "8255294" by going to: msflv.php?id=8255294 msflv.php?id=8255294 then goes to "http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/rss.ashx?type=video&mediaID=8255294" and retrieves the URL msflv.php?id=8255294 then redirects the user to "http://content.movies.myspace.com/0020238/44/22/2023812244.flv" I do have this script (it's where I got the idea from) but cannot figure out how to alter it: <?php $url='http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/rss.ashx?type=video&mediaID='.$_GET['video'];; if ($details = file("$url")) { foreach($details as $value) { if(preg_match('/url=\"(.*?)\"/', $value, $match)) { $myspace = $match[1]; } } header("Location: $myspace"); } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134937-retrieve-url-from-a-xml-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
