info from a page

[grudz]

Hi,

This is my first time doing anything for xml, I'm a php guy, but I have a problem that I have to solve using xml, so any help would be appreciated.

How would I take information from a page and put in on my page.

Ex: There's this page http://www.di.fm/partners/xml/playlists.xml that has information I need. All i want from that is the TRACKTITLE from the first channel (VocalTrance).

Like I said, I have never worked with xml, but I do know PHP

Thank you

Use this function: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php to parse your file into an array, and you should be able to do the rest if you already know PHP ;)
