I have following problem:
I'm getting xml data by html get method. For ex.
[somesite.com...]
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?
>>>parse it and write to db
For this I suggest SimpleXML [us2.php.net] and then writing the content using the specific database functions. I'm guessing mysql?
>>>save somewhere in server as *.xml file.
Get the xml file from and if you have php 5, you can use file_put_contents [us2.php.net], if not use fwrite [us2.php.net].
Hope this explains something :)
But I think I could not explain what I need.
When I press submit get mirror in response.php
All right I can save from browser as xml file.
But I dont want to save it manually. I need to get this mirror and save automatically to my server. I'm getting the results from other server which I can reach only by this way.
So my question is how can i save it as xml in my server?

[edit reason] removed url TOS [webmasterworld.com] [/edit]
[php.net...]
<?php
$filename = 'test.xml';
$somecontent = "Add this to the file\n";
// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {
// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}
echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";
fclose($handle);
} else {
echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>
Read the manual, please ;)
