Displaying API xml data on laravel 4 blade view -

i developing website search items amazon product advertising api. have search box on views/layouts/master.blade.php following code:

    {{ form::open(array('url' => 'amazonapi/api.php', 'method' => 'get')) }}         {{ form::text('itemsearch', 'search ...', ) }}     {{ form::submit('search') }} 

the form posting api file following code:

    <?php         if(isset($_get['booksearch'])) {             /* example usage of amazon product advertising api */             include("amazon_api_class.php");              $obj = new amazonproductapi();             $result ='' ;             try             {                 $result = $obj->searchproducts($_get['booksearch'],                                                amazonproductapi::dvd,                                                "title");             }             catch(exception $e)             {                 echo $e->getmessage();             }              print_r($result->items);       ?> 

after searching navigated file , displays valid xml data amazon. can see, api file php file in public/assets/amazonapi folder hence cant extend layouts when styling xml. please let me know how should include api code in views/searches/index.blade.php blade view such can extend layout on like:

@extends('layouts.mylayout')  @section('content') //the api code goes here @stop 

also let me know correct way should open form.

i guide in simple , more laravel way. can create folder libraries under app directory , place amazon api files in libraries folder.

now in composer.json add "app/your_amozon_api_library_folder_name" in classmap ,

"autoload": {      "classmap": [         "app/commands",         "app/controllers",         "app/models",         "app/your_amozon_api_library_folder_name", 

now dump autoload using composer dump-autoload or php composer.phar dump-autoload amozon api's loaded global use.

suppose have homecontroller search method, put api codes in search method,

public function search(){   if(isset($_get['booksearch'])) {         /* example usage of amazon product advertising api */         //include("amazon_api_class.php"); no need include          $obj = new amazonproductapi();         $result ='' ;         try         {             $result = $obj->searchproducts($_get['booksearch'],                                            amazonproductapi::dvd,                                            "title");         }         catch(exception $e)         {             echo $e->getmessage();         }          //print_r($result->items);         return view::make('your view name')->with('items',$result->items);  } }
