For the love of god:
It's web related? Use JSON, thank you.

Here a little example:

Request:
http://api.opennic.free/api/find-dns.json?by=location&countries=de,nl,fr&location=gps_cords_here

Reply:
{ "result": "success",
  "dns": {
    "servers": [
      "123.123.123.123",
      "45.67.89.10"
    ]
  },
  "timestamp": 123456789
}

With php you can digest this like this:
$apiResponse = json_parse($httpResponse);

And read values from it like:
echo $apiResponse->dns->servers[0];
//or
foreach($apiResponse->dns->servers as $dnsServer) {
  echo $dnsServer;
}

If that's not easy and (in)sane, then i don't know :P

Keywords: RESTful, JSON, Caching, Controller, Routing

I may offer my help on this in i have plenty of experience with RESTful
APIs and JSON handling. Also i'm JS Ninja.
