How to create TV guide in PHP? [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 11 years ago.

I'm creating a TV script which is (very sim开发者_如何学编程ilar to, but not the same as):

http://library.digiguide.tv/lib/programme/True+Blood-663898/Drama/

http://library.digiguide.tv/lib/programmenextshowing/True+Blood-663898 (this shows an optional field of series/episode number, I have a similar one in my database)

http://library.digiguide.tv/lib/programmenextshowing/12578

For me, I'm having to custom-build this, as a CMS isn't useful, but I am considering CodeIgniter since it's got the pagination function.

How would you handle my situation if you were doing it?

Although the above links use ASP.NET, mine is in PHP.

If I was asked to do this I would use:

• curl, to get the xml feeds from content providers
• simpleXML, to parse the xml
• a cup of coffee, to stay awake whilst faffing around with the xml formats from different broadcasters
• MYSQL, to store the data for easy retrieval and searching
• cron, to use curl to update the database every hour/day/minute or whatever was needed
• PHP to do easy selects from the database to show the information

The hard part will be parsing the data from the providers, and keeping enough coffee during that part.
