Hi David
This might be a bit outside the scope of your script but is it possible to have an extra page from the admin area where (perhaps using a php form) we can create/edit new xml feeds?
Creation / editing of XML files is quite complex; however if you would like to edit / add your own merchants (several users do this) the easiest way is to create your own feeds in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel.
After creating your spreadsheet with column headings of the usual fields (Product Name, Description, Image URL, Buy URL, Price etc.) you can use the Export... function (File menu) to save the spreadsheet as a CSV file. However, I would recommend using either Tab or Pipe as the field separator (an option when you export as CSV) as this is far less prone to causing errors during import!
