XMLTV.EXE and tv_grab_na_dd

[sbtvlist]

For years I downloaded a week lineup into a local xml file. I parse the file into an Access DB then have asp webpages do the work I need. I am going to port all this to an Apache website so the asp pages will all be rewritten into php.

My question, what method should I use to run a query on an apache server to download the listings into an xml file on the server? From there I can do what I need to do. This is only used by me but I am away from the house a lot so I want it accessible when I am on the road.

Any advice?

I think there is a sample php DataDirect client in the sample programs.. if needed, I can dig out a copy of my test code. Be sure and replace the hostname with dd.schedulesdirect.org

OK, I got some data in the php soap script by changing the host name. In XMLTV there was a channel lineup and the data grabbed those channels. In the code below it doesn't appear to pull my channels. I imagine there are some configuration files. Am I on the right track in order to get an xml listing of the channels I have selelcted in my profile at SD

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

$username='MyName';
$password='MyPassword';



$data_url='http://dd.schedulesdirect.org/tech/tmsdatadirect/schedulesdirect/tvDataDelivery.wsdl';
$start=gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z",time());
$stop =gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z",time()+3600*1);

$client = new SoapClient($data_url, array('exceptions' => 0,
'user_agent' => "php/".$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME],
'login' => strtolower($username),
'password' => $password));
$data = $client->download($start,$stop);

print_r($data);

?>

at first glance it looks right. Maybe turn on exceptions and try and put $start,$stop in an array.

If that doesn't work, I'll try the code myself.

The code works. One last question. Is the returned data filtered by the SD Profile Provider channel selection that we chose from the SD website?

Yup
