What is the Web Service?

Basically the Web Service we offer provides a way of querying our database and having the results returned as an XML stream. There are a number of advantages using this method as opposed to the Widget.

• 1. You don't have to rely on the style of the widget which may not suite your site layout
• 2. Create your own 'Search form' with the colours and style of your choosing
• 3. You can format the display to suite your site

The disadvantage is that a good knowledge of XML, XSL & Javascript are required. Also, your server needs to be configured to use PHP DOM.

For help and assistance in using the Web Service, see the Help Topics. A working example is shown here: XML Sample
