    I have an affiliate site that needs a data feed set up on it.

    Can someone point to a really good step by step COMPLETE tutorial on setting up my server for one?

    Everything I have read thell me things like .. "you need SOAP and XML .." but no nuts and bolts stuff.

    I'm okay with simple mysql queries, digging through a PERL script, setting permissions, setting up a database, etc .. but I am not a programmer.

    I am okay with HTML, however. I also have my own VPS and "root" access.

    all it really is - is formatting an XML file to a certain doctype, using your mysql data.

    http://www.rssboard.org/files/sample-rss-092.xml is RSS version .92

    You just need to make your PHP Rendered output look like this :) (one simple mysql call and loop essentially)
