    I know this is a very general question but is there anyway to put a cinema feed
    on a website without simply having to imput all the data in weekly
    A data base were users can click on a film and a cinema and see a time table

    Thanks

    Yes, there's a way. It would probably involve paying someone if you can't code PHP yourself..

    Did some looking around and found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/439857/is-there-a-movie-showtime-api

    Looks like your best bet would to use the Yahoo! feeds described in the post, or do screen-scraping from a movie listings site (the latter likely against most sites' TOS).

    Or try http://www.fandango.com/rss/moviefeed -- to use it you'd have to parse the RSS (daily) and insert it into a database (or pay someone to do this). I did one of theatres in my area (in Toronto): http://www.fandango.com/rss/moviesn...aachr_aaiku_aachm_aamfh_aamjf_aaiju_aaoix.rss

    Much simpler and easier (but probably not what you're looking for) would be movie "widgets" that you can just drop into your site and they'd pull the data directly from the source site (not sure what sites offer this but just look around on movie listings sites).
