Taking advantage of PHP5 new XML parsing and retrieval

[savage...@gmail.com]

I've been doing extensive research on finding ways to retrieve data
from the sensorbase solely on php5 alone. I read the documentation on
using the Java sensorbase API which does seem reasonable to use, but
we then have to use Java. I researched extensively online for
examples and tutorials on using PHP5 XML tools such as simpleXML, and
CURL. After many days, I found very little information on how to
handle XML data. The only promising tutorial i found was:

http://www.higherpass.com/php/tutorials/Retrieving-Xml-With-Curl-And-Simplexml/1/

I copied and paste the code into my dreamweaver and ran it in my own
installed PHP5 server, but I am having bugs in the code. I would like
some assistance to debug the program. Hopefully we can accomplish it
in our next meeting.

Can you tell us a little bit about the errors you are getting. This
might be a Dreamweaver thing.

I recently were able to debug the code. The code is not working
perfectly. I have already committed the code to the ihacky SVN
repository. Please take a look because I believe many of the features
we will reuse again.
