I'll try and work out a way of doing that, but the problem is the script is getting the data from a html page with no distinction between the times, the times are just displayed as they are shown there. I tried using ereg_replace, but then everytime a film title contained, for example THU, <day name="THU"> was displayed.

edit: Sorry about that, I've edited my posts now

edit 2: I have tidied it up a bit though, I got rid of the oddly spaced commas, and replaced the day names

Remember what I said of a project that would convert to XML different timetables and scheduled events. I've been searching and no group is doing such task and no specification has been written in that matter. I think we could write some work for that so we can do several documents that follow a usability standard made by ourselves (specification).

Just an idea

Maybe another SF project KeyStorm?  I'd be willing to help although my PHP isn't great

My PHP is dreadful too, I'm learning as I'm doing it!

Well, I was actually thinking of it and it would rather be a wikipedia-alike project.
We could be using own script to parse whatever site there's to parse but we would be offering the output in wikipages.

If I was a bit more regular in wikimedia community I could suggest them something like this, because this way people could join it easily and add more and more XML resources following the agreed specifications.

SF wouldn't fit our needs since there is no one and only application and we want to output information.

It's gotta be tough, but it would be fine indeed, imo.

in a few days when i get my new reseller hosting account i could host this project, as it seems very intriging

what you can do is making a certain template and using multiple php pages to convert each specific page

then use a vb plugin or something to retreive the info

I'll suggest this in wikimedia.org in a few days. Let's see what they say. We'd need to have a clear idea of what we plan to do and how.

Oh, and the plugin would be just a way to implement the service.

why don't let the plugin immediately get the info from the website instead of a special webserver? I was already experimenting a bit with this stuff

edit: I just found a way to convert some web pages to xml, seems to work fine. I'm planning to implement script files (vb/js) to handle different websites, just like theblasp's talkers. I'll go on tomorrow, party tonight

"why don't let the plugin immediately get the info from the website instead of a special webserver?"

Because then each website would need an individual plugin, thus completely missing the point

edit: Wow! You made the anonymous message bot - I use that all the time!
