XML/PHP Web Service for Flight Information

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to create a php script that
checks flight information for several flight operators given certain
parameters such as departure date/ departure airport/ destination and
number od travellers?
What i would like to do is have a link on my site, that once clicked
would open up a new window that would display the prices from several
airlines for these dates etc

I think going along the lines of XML Web services is the right path
but these seem to be very early in the developmental process and none
seem available to meet my requirements.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Many Thanks,

Paul

Okay, but how do THEY do it then?
(Top posting fixed)

They have access to databases from the airlines. And they pay big bucks
for that access.

Argh! This problem is driving me nuts! Can you help? In November of 2003, I installed a web service on Windows Server 2003 built in VB.NET for v1.1.4322 of the framework. It contains a timer (System.Timers.Timer) which has an interval of 24 hours. Actually, it reads a time like 2AM out of the config file, and calculates the time between the start of the service to 2AM, and sets the timer. When the timer expires, it re-reads the...

I am sure this has been asked at least once before but I could not find anything when searching. If I set the value of the ExitCode property to 1066 for a windows service, the text "A service specific error occured: 0." How do I (if it is possible) change the value of the zero to something custom (like a "look in the event log for further information" message)? Thank you,

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?
