Would you know how I can find the attributes of the requestUrl? In my original code I did
$feedURL = "http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/jamestcallahanphotography/?kind=photo&access=visible";; $sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL); then I could do a foreach and echo $feed->title or $feed->href etc. or something like $feed['title'] I just tried something like $sxml = new SimpleXMLElement($requestUrl); right after $requestUrl but get " parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in" I thought I'd be able to figure it out but guess im having no luck. I feel like its probably something super simple that im just not getting :( thanks On Tuesday, August 14, 2012 5:33:02 PM UTC-4, Mike Erickson wrote: > > I accept your promise of future kindness, and wish you happy coding.
