Re: Php and XSL

The way I understand it (I am sure I'm wrong), XSL gives you a way to
display an XML document into HTML. PHP gives you way to interact with the
database to display data (much like RPG). Not sure what you are thinking
here, but you would want to use PHP for your website and XSL to work with
XML.

I think you read too fast. Firsty, I'm meeting no business needs, this is a
personal site. Secondly, I know XSL whereas in php I'm not far beyond
helloworld.php

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.
