HI Dhaval and all others, Thanks a ton for your support and resolving the problem! I was finally able to flow the data in and out of xml and my php files seamlessly. It was a great experience.
Special thanks to Dhaval for nicely detailing out the intricacies required for the GET and POST request. Thanks a lot dude. The app is now working and going great. Its still raw and we are going to make it better and better till it becomes radiant! Please have a look at the app and point out bugs. PS: the functionality in the app is still minimal, we will increase them day by day. http://www.orkut.com/Main#Application.aspx?uid=13737324644056666681&appId=514397790385 Best Regards, Prakhar Goel On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 2:09 PM, Dhaval Pancholi <dhavalyo...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Hello Prahar it seems you are new to open social.
