Arena Class Distribution Crawler Progress

7 Sep, 2007  PvP

After hitting my head against a brick wall for ages in trying to solve various problems generated by my lack of PHP expertise, I finally managed to get the armory to send me xml data instead of formatted html. Sounds trivial but it took me several hours to figure it out. The database part is fine, so this weekend I’ll be able to start parsing the xml properly.
So I’m progressing at a slower pace than expecting but at least I now have all tools I need, the rest is only coding and ironing out bugs and typos.

    Hi.
    Could you please post how you did it ?
    Been crawling the web for ages to find out how to get the XML from wow-armory without using 3rd part programs.

    Are you only using PHP with no addons ? :-)

    OK, I’ll make a separate blog entry for that
