php and xsl, you will need to determine how much logic is implemented

you make.
it will save you headaches in the long run.

Thanks!
I checked out sitepoint's XSL book, and figured it out. I tried to
do it
with PHP, for me it seemed just a little bit more work than XSL
transformation.
Since I'm not very familiar with XSL most of my applications are in PHP
and XML (parsed from MYSQL). I have the current project's design planned
out with just PHP/XML, however I felt like it was more convenient to
just do the latest item print out part with XSL (couple of files). I
might run in to some challenges when I get to pagination, I was thinking
whether I should deviate a little bit from the plan to create XML/XSL
pagination of list of items. This might just become all hybrid code with
PHP and XSL, which I'm not looking forward to have.
