Re: [CODE4LIB] parse an OAI-PHM response
Andrew, I began building a PHP OAI Client library based on a OAI Server library that I wrote a while back. The OAI Client library is not complete, but it can get you started.

Re: [CODE4LIB] parse an OAI-PHM response
I haven't heard the words "Gopher" and "Killer App" used in the same sentence for a looong time. Thanks!

Re: [CODE4LIB] parse an OAI-PHM response
Depending on how locked down the php.ini file is (lots of good reasons to do this) you might look into curl. http://curl.haxx.se/ Curl can work in php. http://us.php.net/curl It talks lots of protocols (including https, which is how I got on board), including gopher for any killer apps you have planned. -t +++ Tim Shearer Web Development Coordinator The University Library University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-962-1288 +++ On Fri, 27 Jul 2007, John McGrath wrote: You could use either the PEAR HTTP_Request package, or the built-in fopen/fread commands, which can make http calls in addition to opening local files.

Re: [CODE4LIB] parse an OAI-PHM response
You could use either the PEAR HTTP_Request package, or the built-in fopen/fread commands, which can make http calls in addition to opening local files. The easiest way, though, in my opinion, is file_get_contents, which automatically dumps the response into a String object.

[CODE4LIB] parse an OAI-PHM response
Hi folks, I'm wanting to implement a PHP parser for an OAI-PMH response from our Dspace installation. I'm a bit stuck on one point: how do I get the PHP script to send a request to the OAI-PMH server, and get the XML response in return so I can then parse it? Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated! Andrew
