 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to load markers on a google map. I have a function called placeMarkersAjax
   which accepts a parameter xml.
 * placeMarkersAjax(‘<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/markers.xml.php’);
 * What i did was point this to a php file in my template directory. It works fine
   if the content of the php is like this.
 * <?xml version=”1.0″?>
    <markers> <marker> <name>Name</name> <lat>11.972913599129404
   </lat> <lng>121.91499352455139</lng> </marker> </markers>
 * The marker is successfully loaded in the map. However I want to loop through 
   posts and grab a latitude and longitude custom fields. So I need to use wordpress
   functions. When I add
 * <?php
    require(‘../../../wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
 * on top of the file. It no longer works. When I try to access the file in the 
   browser. The XML content looks the same if the require code is there or not.
 * I guess how do I use wordpress functions in this case? when i try to add the 
   require line javascript no longer parses the xml. I also tried adding
 * header(‘Content-Type: text/xml’);
 * It still doesn’t work.
 * Please help me.
 * thanks,
    Milo
