I need to display data from an XML document that is on an external FTP server… can this be done?
I want to display the entire document as a list. I have really struggled to find out how this is done, or even if it can be done.
SOrry for the rather non-specific question, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
PHP has FTP functions:
ftp_get http://php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-get.php
Once you have the file you have a couple of options:
Parse the XML into (I assume) an HTML list http://php.net/manual/en/book.xml.php
Or use an XSLT transform http://php.net/manual/en/xsl.examples.php
