ICEcat product specifications drawer

/ Published in: PHP

Use this PHP function to draw a nice table with product specifications gathered from an XML feed from ICEcat (http://www.icecat.biz/). It requires that you feed the function with an EAN product number and that you have registered with ICEcat. Set your username and password accordingly in the variables. You can choose to draw the product description and picture by setting $drawdescription and $drawpicture to 1.

The output is fully valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and is easily stylable using CSS.
