Hi everyone!  I'm a grad student at Stanford right now taking a course in Facebook applications.  My team and I are in the process of creating a Facebook application for Kiva.  I'm trying to access the XML feed that contains all the information about the businesses and I seem to be having some issues.  I'm programming in PHP.  If there is anyone out there who can send me the code for the best way to do this or any pointers, that would be great.

Thanks,
Sara

Do you have the URL of the feed already? Are you just having problems extracting the individual data you want out of the XML?

I can try to help - I'm an experience PHP developer - but I need to know more about what point you're at and what step you are trying to do but can't...

I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.  I think I might have been using the wrong URL.  When I found the feed, it looked like Kiva was actually wrapping some formatting around the feed and it was a matter of finding the root.  In the middle of the night last night, I had a moment of clarity and was able to get it working (don't ask me how, haha).  Thanks for the response though - and if you're a Facebook user, look out for a Kiva app - Coming Soon!
