I was doing a google search to learn more about the WBXML format so I could suggest which approach is likely to be the best in terms of speed of development and code maintainability. I am still not sure, but I did find http://www.devx.com/xml/article/16754 which is a general discussion, and links to http://www.devx.com/xml/article/16757 which discusses using java to do the parsing on the fly For now, I would suggest the following approach: * Grab gugux's code * Check if the input is wbxml if so convert it to xml (and back again on the way out) * Later benchmark the PECL code vs gugux's code if the PECL version is measurably quicker, include a check for the PECL module, if it is loaded and use it * Evaluate parsing it on the fly Cheers Dave -- Dave Hall (aka skwashd) API Coordinator phpGroupWare e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w phpgroupware.org j [EMAIL PROTECTED] sip [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ ____ __ __ _ __ | |__ _ __ / ___|_ __ ___ _ _ _ _\ \ / /_ _ _ __ ___ | '_ \| '_ \| '_ \| | _| '__/ _ \| | | | '_ \ \ /\ / / _` | '__/ _ \ | |_) | | | | |_) | |_| | | | (_) | |_| | |_) \ V V / (_| | | | __/ | .__/|_| |_| .__/ \____|_| \___/ \__,_| .__/ \_/\_/ \__,_|_| \___| |_| |_| |_|Web based collaboration platform _______________________________________________ phpGroupWare-developers mailing list phpGroupWare-developers@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/phpgroupware-developers
