The company I work for is starting to lose contracts because they are not capable of EDI. As I seem to be the only person in the company who has heard of EDI and knows what it stands for I am assumed to be an expert :-) Ain't it always the way :-) Anyway, I would like to suggest that instead of EDI we use XML and use PHP both as a parser and a creater of the EDI like transactions. I would propose they are sent over the net and probably PGP encrypted or signed. I have done some minor work with PHP and XML, mainly credit card authorisation, but wondered how suited it would be to this kind of app? http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47-68-85-1552_STO55904,00.h tml http://www.xml.com/search/index.ncsp?sp-q=EDI PHP should be quite capable of handling this, but you will end up creating a lot of the business logic from scratch. If your company already uses integrated management software like SAP, it may have EDI capabilities built in. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, we would have to spend around £24,000 sterling to get the modules. We already have modules that allow importing of order, etc from txt files. I could write a PHP XML parser to interface into this. What I am not sure is how acceptable it will be to our customers -- -- Jon Farmer Systems Programmer, Entanet www.enta.net Tel 01952 428969 Mob 07968 524175 PGP Key available, send blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47-68-85-1552_STO55904,00.h tml http://www.xml.com/search/index.ncsp?sp-q=EDI PHP should be quite capable of handling this, but you will end up creating a lot of the business logic from scratch.

Hi, You can also try to use Java (the list is going to run over me with this comment). Xerces parser is quite good and amazinly fast, and opensource. We are validating XML document of 3Mb with it, and it is done in three seconds (creating a DOM object). It is just another idea if you haven't look at it. Also you can keep the logic more organized with the object structure. Sean C. McCarthy SCI, S.L.
