nad-

here is my start to the code,

input

<marketresearch>term-1,term-2,term-n</marketresearch>

might want to do

<marketresearch>term-1+term-2+term-n</marketresearch>

to make it neater.

The usual way to have many items in a tag are with separate lines,

<marketresearch>
term-1
term-2
term-n
</marketresearch>

<php>$keywords = preg_split('/[\x00-\x1f+,]+/', trim($input));</php> This allows any of the forms above --nad 21:52, 12 July 2008 (NZST)

which will give formatted data from

just one term is fine for now, have a call in to see how they handle multiple.... --Phalseid 05:47, 11 July 2008 (NZST)

multiple is done in the form foo+bar:

process

the parsing needs to give

• the <TITLE>
• a snippet of the article(s)<DESCRIPTION></DESCRIPTION>
• the product id which is BUY id from the resultant XML file... (<BUY id=xxxxx)

output

• an iframe to the output from the process above, shows the title, description, and a link to buy it...

http://www.marketresearch.com/feed/cart/addtocart.asp?partnerid=951781402&productid=xxxxxxx (from BUY id above)

example:

http://www.marketresearch.com/feed/cart/addtocart.asp?partnerid=951781402&productid=1115927
