Populate table data from the net.

[hacksaw6]

So, here it is...
I have volenteered develop an iPhone app for my local church that allows people to stream/download messages (30min .mp3 files), then listen to at their own pleasure. If I am to complete this they will pay me!

I have practically no experiences in xcode or anything so please be gentle!

So the app is set out as a tab bar app, one of the tabs called 'messages'.
In this tab i want a table that receives its values from the net.
I have access to a website that can host php and all of that garbage. When i select a value I want you to have the option to download the mp3 and read its details.

SO! What do I need to do to populate the table data from the net? a table on my website? php? i read about some SOAPy thing?
I have been searching for days on end, HULP PLOX!!!

You clearly just want to get some money. Since you do not have any experience you shouldn't have accepted that offer. Every client deserves decent code. That's what they pay for. I assume you will only be able to put something together by copying and pasting.

It also shows that you didn't even use google. Populating a tableview is one of the basics that is well explained on the internet. They should let a more experienced developer make the app. You have the wrong intentions. Sorry to say that.

I do understand. Before you edited your post it was obvious. And I don't see why people should help if you clearly state that you don't have any experience and that you will get paid for this.

Personally, I think the easiest way would be to have a file on your website that contains the names and URLs of the MP3s.

The app could then download this file using something like:

NSData * theFile = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[NSURL URLWithString:@"address"]];

Then make an array from that (Google it).

Finally, look at how to populate a UITableView with an NSArray (Google again).

A few things to get you started!
