Re: Php and XSL

First you need to determine what XSL gives you and if it is meeting a
business need. IMO, XSL just adds an additional layer of complexity and
failure to an application where you most likely own both ends of the
spectrum. On the flip side, XSL can work great for times when you need to
convert a vendors XML PurchaseOrder document to your version of an XML
PurchaseOrder.

Stick with PHP as your language to implement logic and interface with the
DB.

Hi everyone,

I had a brief go at learning php a while ago and managed to make my first
personal web application with mysql. I didn't get very far, but was
reasonably satisfied with the result. Since then, my company has had me
trained in XSL. For the simple reason that now I can program in XSL rather
than PHP, I was thinking of developing my site in XSL and XML. Is it
possible to mix XSL or XML with php? If the adress of my page is http://:mySite.php,
where will be the references to my XSL or XML files? Will I have to generate
XML from php code with a reference to my XSL file? Will the server generate
the XML then process the XSL? Is there a simpler way for me? I was hoping to
keep the php/mysql that I've developped so far.

Thanks.
