Hi all,

I need your help as I got a problem with the strings. When I get the list of strings for the input, I keep getting the same strings over and over when I output them.

Here is where you can see in the output:

<tv generator-info-name="www.mysite.com/xmltv">
<channel id="101 ABC FAMILY">
<display-name>101 ABC FAMILY</display-name>
<programme channel="101 ABC FAMILY" start="20140507180000" stop="
20140507183000">

<tv generator-info-name="www.mysite.com/xmltv">

// output the xml to the browser in this example, write $xml to a file 
here...
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
echo $xml;
$handle = fopen("myChannel.xml", "w"); 
fwrite ($handle, $xml);
?>

Can you please tell me how I can get each different strings for the output without output the same strings?

Does anyone know how?????????
