Well, I find myself here again, looking towards the professionals to give me another helping hand.
A little about my problem, before I go into the actual details of the question;
My name is Jordan, and I run a website at http://70.65.76.165/Index3.php -- It's not a full purpose site or anything, but what I do use it for is a temporary business site (Until the construction I'm doing on my main business page is completed) and moreso just a personal page, with journal/news updates, some of my prior and under-construction projects, and about myself -- how to contact, etcetera.
Since it's majoritavely a personal website, it tends to get very bland after a short amount of time, if perhaps I'm too lazy to do an update. So; what I need; is something that changes from time-to-time, something that people can see as a difference; whether big or small.
So -- what I'm looking for; is a popular script among Radio Stations and other sorts of websites; is a "Currently Playing" script, that'll read what I need it to read.
The question;
How would I go about retrieving the appropriate XML information from "WinAmp V. 5.07" and then prepping it to be ready to use in PHP?
A little more about me;
I may not know alot about programming; but I'm just beginning to learn PHP; I've built up a few small scripts, for donator scripts, shoutboxes, gallery input scripts, registry forms, etcetera. But, I don't know much about XML, actually -- I don't know anything about XML. I don't know what information would be neded, or if it'd be a plugin that I'd need. So, if anyone could give me a small hand with this, I'd be rather greatful.
Thanks for your time in reading this.
