curl and simple xml

[jeethuthomas]

• The following URL output details for employee #18 using XML format:

http://test.com/dispatch_ws.php?acti...=18&format=xml
• This URL is slow to respond (~15 sec), it’s normal and must be handle accordingly in your code
Output:
• Output to the screen the name property of the employee
• Output to the screen the type attribute of the employee
Guidelines:
• Use CURL only
• Use SimpleXML
• Use correct timeouts and correct encoding


any help is appreciated

Sorry - I don't do people's homework for them - you could try (I dunno) learning the subject matter?

Since you have already been told what to use and what to achieve... so you must try it yourself. If you were totally blank then we could give you some insights. Now you can find lots of examples of curl and simplexml from google search. So try yourself. No one can do those all for you.
