Hi MadTxn:

I have installed the PHP server as per your directive and have updated the script. I can get access from the browser to the server, but the PDA is not accessing the program from TP. I have checked the URL, all letters, every input is correct. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

Can you post what URL you put in the registry?

It is a shame that we have to have our own PHP server to get this, what a loss!

I think you need an externally available address.  Try using the IP address of "nj-01".

MadTxn,

Getting a little off topic, but here is a suggestion. You might look into modifying your script to allow the theaters and zipcodes to be specified in the http address (query string parameters. This would allow it to be run on a server that could be accessed by multiple users and would work "out of the box".

I threw together (with help from other scripts) a stock feed that allows specifying the stock symbols in the link address.

Example:
"http://my_computer/myrss/YahooStocks-rss.php?symbols=^dji+^ixic+^gspc+aivsx+cstgx+avlfx+temwx"

In my script, I create an array using the statement:
$stocklist = explode(" ", $_GET["symbols"]);

Doing this for your Movie Listings script would require a little more work, but would use similar code.

I thought of doing that... And since I still have nothing to do at work, I'll probably do it tomorrow. ;)

You'r code works great.

Hi MadTxn:
That worked. Now it does not update for the following date. How do I accomplish this?

Thanks.

Well, sometimes, Yahoo doesn't update until later in the day.  Check yahoo's page first, then check the update time for your RSS feed.  The script checks only when called (meaning nothing is cached), so it should always have the most recent data.

Hi MadTxn:
That's exactly what happened.

Thanks.
