Hi there Jochen, Thanks for your assistance.
However am not familiar with host file entrys etc. Is there a PHP function I can use to perform these and call the URL mentioned below? If you put it in the URL address, it returns XML as it should. Just need a way to call this from a PHP script and store the XML to a variable... would really appreciate some assistance / direction with this? Thanks Brendan.
