Looking for some API example apps using PHP hopefully with the Zestiamte data.  I have a form that gets a full address, but I dont know how to send that to the API and get results.  Thanks.

Here is an example implementation for you to take a look at. I'm pretty sure it's in PHP.

Thanks yes that is a php page, but I don't see how it works, there is a form in the code and it posts to itself, index.php, but where and how does it call the API?

That's something you'll have to ask a web developer about. Mike Rice at Eferi did that specific implementation.

Here's a code snippet in PHP.  In my example I am just getting a few items but you can get the idea:

$xmlfile = "http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetSearchResults.htm?zws-id=[YOURID]&address=[ADDRESS]&citystatezip=[CITY,STATE ZIP]";
$s = simplexml_load_file($xmlfile);
if ($s) {
    $returnCode = $s->message->code;
    $returnText = $s->message->text;
    if ($returnCode == 0) {
       $zpid = $s->response->results->result->zpid;
    $zestimate = $s->response->results->result->zestimate->amount;
    $x = 'last-updated';
    $last = $s->response->results->result->zestimate->$x;
    $high = $s->response->results->result->zestimate->valuationRange->high;
    $low = $s->response->results->result->zestimate->valuationRange->low;
    $change = $s->response->results->result->zestimate->valueChange;
    $estimatorLink = $s->response->results->result->links->myestimator;
    }
}

Obviously you need to replace the information between "[ ]"
Note that this is PHP 5.  Previous versions do not support "simplexml_load_file".
