Displaying consumed information in PHP

[ASPNETnewbie]

Hi,

The code below is supposed to consume and display vacation rental information from

http://api.vast.com/apidoc.php?a=ex

but for some reason, I don't think I have it formated right to display. I want to have the pictures and values returned displayed in a formatted method and so far have not been able to get the information to actually display. it works and there is information contained in the $xml when dumped. please help with formatting needs.

thanks in advance

<?php

displayVastVacation("60110232599273101012125456212315","Columbus");

function displayVastVacation($apiKey,$Location)
{
$paramaters = array();
$endPoint = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://api.vast.com/?";[/URL]
$paramaters[] = array("api_method", "Vacation_Rentals");
$paramaters[] = array("key",$apiKey);
$paramaters[] = array("tlocation", $Location);
$paramaters[] = array("fresh_to","50");
$paramaters[] = array("sort", "3");

foreach ($paramaters AS $paramater)
{
 $endPoint .= $paramater[0] . "=" . $paramater[1] . "&";
}
// remove the & overflow to be sure the URL was created right
// $endPoint= substr_replace($endPoint,"", strlen($endPoint)-1);
//print out constructed XML to be sure it is correctly formatted
//echo $endPoint;
//query the server and get the response from the server
$response = file_get_contents($endPoint);

//echo utf8_decode($response);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
echo"<table style=\"WIDTH:50%; POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT: 269px\"><tbody>";
//var_dump($xml);


foreach($xml->results->result{0} as $item)
{
 
$title=$item['title'];
$url=$item['url'];
$domain_name=$item['domain_name'];
$us_state=$item['us_state'];

I have to add this.. The code is complete and you can run it. information is returned from the call and contained in $xml, I would however like to know how I can access the details of the information in $xml and print it all out in the Loop their in the specified format.
