Proceed data obtained by HTTP GET method

[finita]

Hi,

I have following problem:

I'm getting xml data by html get method. For ex.

http://www.somesite.com/index.php?i...hool=123&name=A

When I send this info I'm getting response data as xml

Now my question and problem is:
After getting this xml tree I want to parse it and write to db.
Or after getting it I want to save somewhere in server as *.xml file.

Is it possible?

Post your relevent code!

I have never such problem before. It is completely new for me.
So I have any clue about this subject. That's why I asked for help from community members.

You say your already getting the data, all I need is to see how. It just makes it easier to explain.

If you dont know how to get the data, your asking the wrong question.

Post the code showing how you get this!!!!!!!

[finita]

OK. I asked the question a little wrong I think.

Now our information supplier has a form which gave us direct link to the file where I'm
using to send form datas. I mean <form action="direct link to file out of my server" method="get">
I meant I'm getting data by this way.

So I'm asking after opposite server responded me the xml feed which I provided above, how can I generate, proceed this data with php? I want to parse and write to db or save it as xml file in my database.

That's why I asked if it is possible.

[trq]

Well, without seeing ANY code, I'll assume youve got this xml in a variable ($xml) somehow. To put it in a database...

[code]
INSERT INTO tbl (xml) VALUES ('$xml');
[/code]

To parse it, you will either need to look at php's [url=http://php.net/simplexml]simplexml[/url]extension for php5 or the [url=http://php.net/xml]xml[/url] otherwise.

[finita]

All right.

Look at the little example given here:
http://www.tbsistem.com/sample

When I click Submit, I'm getting the data like this one.

I can save it as xml file from browser, but i dont want to do it like this.
I want to save it auto somewhere in server and after saving run my cron to parse, generate it.

on the response.php page
you need to give it an XML header and then it will automatically save so to speak

I don't know how response.php works...
like thorpe stressed, we need code

but on response.php you should put
header("Content-type: text/xml");

and get rid of everything else
I.E
the body tag
the html tags
the meta tag

[finita]

Thanks for replies.

I also do not know content of response.php

But the content of response is completely xml
