Buying Need Urgent Help with a PHP XML Parsing Script

    I need help with an existing php script that I have that parses a xml feed into a database. It was working fine but then the merchant changed the feed formatting. Now my script no longer works. It may be having problems dealing with specific characters in the feed. Also there are embedded category fields for each product, which might be new. Regardless of what is going wrong, I need someone to fix it right away. Until it is fixed, my website's database is empty :(

    Is anyone else available to help? I had a few offers last night, but it was mostly people with no forum history.

    PM me a sample of an xml feed and a link to the site. It probably just needs a few field name changes. Characters shouldn't matter - if the database can't handle specific characters, that's a problem, but unless there's a Special HTML Character for the ones causing the problem, the database will have to be redone to be able to handle those characters - but if they're standard characters neither the code nor the database will care.
