Re: Cinclude file not found - why?

[Dan Hertz]

I just don't understand what the difference is between an

iframe calling the URL (or typing it in the browser) -- which returns the expected result, and a cinclude which calls the external file (using http:// and

not the cocoon:/ protocol) -- which does not.

Big difference between <iframe> and cinclude!! An <iframe> says "Web browser, create an area in the page display window and load it with atn HTML document from this URI". A cinclude says "Read an XML document from this URI and incorporate that whole document tree as a subtree of this XML tree at this location". If it works in an <iframe>, then the resource you are naming probably serves HTML — that is, a complete HTML document, and I am guessing that a complete HTML document is not what you want to include using cinclude... ???

HTH,

Thanks for helping me out! As I said, I'm not a developer, so there's a great 
deal of learning to do!

I guess what I'm wondering is, if you call a php page via some URI (e.g. 
http://www.mywebserver.com/mypage.php), and that php runs some functions then 
returns xml, should cInclude and iframe not operate on the php page in the same 
way?

I realize that iframe will create a window in the page, whereas cinclude will 
insert the xml nodeset (and expects xml to be returned).

For example:

I have some php that when called, creates folders on the file system, does some tasks, then returns an 
xml fragment (e.g. <result>1</result> or <result>0</result>).

What's the difference if I type in http://www.mywebserver.com/mypage.php to the 
browser, or an iFrame uses http://www.mywebserver.com/mypage.php in the src 
attribute, or cInclude calls it, or xInclude?

Should the php page not be activated in any of these cases, run the functions 
and return the xml for inclusion or further pipeline processing?
