Description

This should be a very quick job script-writing job for someone who can parse XML feeds with PHP. You will need to be able to work between 6 am and 11 pm Pacific Time in the USA. (At other times of day, the XML feeds will not show the data required to understand the project.)

PART ONE

See the XML feed at

http://webservices.nextbus.com/service/publicXMLFeed?command=predictions&a=sf-muni&r=48&s=3482

Please write a PHP script that (1) parses the feed to retrieve the values for the prediction epochTime attributes, (2) converts the epochTime values into a standard time format for the Pacific Time Zone and displays the values similar to this example: \"7:38, 8:02, 8:30.\"

The script should display up to 3 prediction times if they are available. Sometimes the xml feed will show only 1 or 2 time values, in which case it\'s okay just to display those 1 or 2 prediction times. If the xml feed has no prediction times, the script should display the text \"none.\"

The script should automatically time out after 30 seconds if the xml feed is unavailable. If the xml feed is unavailable, the script should display the text \"offline.\"

I just need the source code for the barebones script. Don\'t worry about html/css formatting; I\'ll take care of that.

PART TWO

Please write a similar script based on

http://bart.gov/dev/eta/bart_eta.xml

This script should return the eta values for trains arriving at the \"24th St. Mission\" station and headed to the destination \"Millbrae.\" Again, the eta values should be displayed in standard time format for the Pacific Time Zone. Follow the other instructions as above.

Let me know if there are any questions. Thanks.
