$data = file_get_contents("http://www.mochimedia.com/feeds/games/$pubId/$gt/?format=xml");
$response = new DOMDocument();
$response->loadXML($data);
$obj = $response->getElementsByTagName("entry")->item(0);
$sql = "INSERT INTO games (title, swfname, description, category, thumb) VALUES('";
$sql .= addslashes($obj->getElementsByTagName("title")->item(0)->nodeValue) . "','";
$swf_url = $obj->getElementsByTagName("link")->item(1)->getAttribute("href");
$swf = md5($sql);
$swfpath = "swf/";
file_put_contents($swfpath . $swf, file_get_contents($swf_url));
echo " URL = $swf_url";
$sql .= "$swf','"; //swfpath is the path of the directory where you store the swf files
