    I have access to the data feed. All I want to do is display the current price for a buy.com product that I am promoting. Any ideas on how to extract this data from the xml or csv feeds?

    I am using Joomla by the way. Thanks!!!

    I did this once with amazon and cj. I requested the xml data from PHP and then parsed it using 'curl'. The data was stored in an array and then went into a cycle to output the HTML table with the product info.

    If you didn't understand what I wrote then you don't know much about programming and doing what you want will be uphill (unless there is software for doing it automatically).
    If you do know PHP and HTML post a message on the PHP section and ask how to use the curl function, or google it.
    I would give you some code but I'm on my iPhone and don't have the computer at the moment.

    Best of luck
