[PHP] Re: Why use XML?
Christian Calloway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, well Im out of a job so I am sitting around learning XML. It seems like a great tool, but I am trying to figure out why I would actually use it? All it does is seperate content and data, albeit on the client, but that is what I have been doing with Smarty and MySQL for awhile now. Why would I choose to parse XML documents with PHP and do transformations on the server, it sounds terribly inefficient and complicated, as opposed to just pulling data out of a database. I also realize that I can generate XML dynamically (ie include PHP code in an actual XML template) by editing my Apache config, but that is not always an option and what would be the point? It would just add another layer of content/data seperation that would have to processed on the other end. Thanks Chris Have a look at the following link: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp The section on How XML Can be used may provide the answers you need.

Hello, I am wondering if any of you got a reliable php and MySQL installation (MySQL is easy) I am mostly wondering if there is a point in tying to use windows as a development platform for PHP. I have a nice and working red hat 8.0 installation, but I did an upgrade from 7.3 and now apache doesn't work cuz it wants me to switch form apache 1.X to 2.X and all I want is to erase the old apache and use the new one or erase the new one and use the old one, whichever works. But anyway... I also do design and I have people submit me illustrator and Photoshop files and word docs, so for now I might have to stick to windows for work. BUT what do u suggest? I it futile to try to get php to work in windows? With IIS preferably so that I can play with ASP and Cold Fusion once in a while. Please help if you are using windows with php and send me some instructions if you feel like it, much appreciated. - Vic __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca Vic, I currently have PHP working both on IIS Apache with Windows 2000. My personal recommendation to you would be to install Apache on Windows with the relevent PHP download, remember that certain features of PHP won't work though a CGI executable with I believe is still the only stable way of running PHP though IIS. I normally have IIS running on a port other than 80 which allows me0 to have both the IIS and Apache available simultaniously. Hope some of this helps.

[PHP] Re: html tags

I have a text area where users can submit text, and I need them to able to have links in the text if they so choose. The contents get written to an ini style flat file database. Is there any particular reason why you are using ini-style files. IMHO they are not very good for storing information that could potentially store multi-line content. I don't recall any programs using multi-line content back in the win-3.1 days. You wish to try using some other form of delimiter (or if available a database). For example. Using ** to seperate records and -- to indicate that start and end of the text data, e.g. month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- ** month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- ** month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- This is only a simple example, but may solve your problem. The only issues with doing this that I can see is that it would require a lot more work of the programmer but should not be to difficult to implement.
