UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Pal box with UK -> Euro Exchange rate feed ?

I was looking for a way to put the exchange rate of the UK currency in a pal-box. I found the following, but still I am not able to get this working

[]The easiest way to process XML data is using XPath statements. XPath allows you to reference the contents of an XML document almost as easily as you refer to directories and files on a disk.
Have a look at the PHPXPath project on Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxpath/

If you download phpxpath into a directory; you can get the EUR:GBP exchange rate using the following code:
[]<?php

require("XPath.class.php");

$xp = new XPath();

$xp->importFromFile("http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml");

$EUR_GBP_rate = $xp->getAttributes("//Cube[@currency='GBP']","rate");

echo($EUR_GBP_rate);

?>

My knowledge of php is very poor, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks

How far have you got it to work? Any error messages?

All I did so far: [*]downloaded XPath.class.php [*]put the file in my pals dir [*]created an empty custombox9pal.php file and pasted the above code in it. [*] Brought up custombox9pal.php and got the following error:

[]Warning: main(XPath.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/pasqual/tsjechie.net/forum/pals/custombox9pal.php on line 2
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'XPath.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /hsphere/local/home/pasqual/tsjechie.net/forum/pals/custombox9pal.php on line 2[/]

I haven't looked at this yet - but if you can get it working on another page - open it up in the pal box in an inline frame.

The error message says that there is no file XPath.class.php in your directory.
custombox9pal.php and XPath.class.php have to be in the same directory for the above php code to work!

see this line require("XPath.class.php");
have your tried require("/full/path/to/file/XPath.class.php");
