Hello Codeigniter,

I had a general question on a project I am about to begin. Its a personal project that, but hopefully I will gain a wealth of knowledge as I execute this.

I need to know some basics about how I should proceed sprinkled with some tech talk to make sure I am heading in the right direction here.

I am going to use code igniters XML-RPC to send requests to a server that has a catalog XML data stream. I was provided documentation and I have read through it, and I do understand for the most part everything that is in there. I was also provided some XML file as examples.

XMLCatReq

Code:
&lt;XMLDataStreamRequest&gt;

<Ver>3.1</Ver>

<Auth>

 <AcctID>9000</AcctID>

 <LoginID>TestXMLDSUser</LoginID>

 <Password>abc123</Password>

</Auth>

<CategoryList>

 <GetList>1</GetList>

 <Sort>NAME</Sort>

</CategoryList>

&lt;/XMLDataStreamRequest&gt;

and a XMLCatReqResponse

Code:
&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;

&lt;XMLDataStreamResponse&gt;

<Ver>3.1</Ver>

<LegalNote>USE</LegalNote>

<CategoryList>

<Category>

 <Num>224</Num>

 <Name>Address Books</Name>

</Category>

<Category>

 <Num>742</Num>

 <Name>Adhesives</Name>

</Category>

</CategoryList>

&lt;/XMLDataStreamResponse&gt;

I am familiar with working with MVC, but never with XML. Could someone give me a kick start here and also valid or invalidate that I am looking at this correctly and if not please provide me some direction.

Maybe if someone can put a simple example together for me so I can see how codeigniter and the XML above translate into one another that would be huge.

I am not asking you to build me the entire project just a little nudge in the right direction.

Much Appreciated.
