Hey guys I need to know how can I implement merchants datafeed on my site. The scripts in the market are lik 200 bucks and I currently need something free to test the waters.

Is there way to code this in php easily or any other recommendations?
 


Yes - very easy to work with in php. A basic knowledge of php would let you work with it.

(since the cvs is a tab deliminated file, you just loop through it and store it to your database - then you can work with your database to display it however you want).

So do I import it in a database and then echo each field?
 
1. Learn how to use the LOAD INFILE in mysql. This will get your data into the database.

2. Learn how to open and query that data.

3. Then display that data wrapped up in table or Divs or other layouts

Combine datafeeds with something like Smarty and you've got the formula for some killer datafeed based sites.
