XML to HTML forms?
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2003 2:31 pm
How to easily convert XML data into forms and back to XML?
Ok I am doing simple stuff. Web page content editing.
I have my 'no-mySQL or PEAR or anything' webspace provider.
I want flat file. I want structured data. XML & PHP. So I have to use an 'separate' XML parser. But I think this XML parser is sorted out..
The real problems is how to 'transform' the XML data into forms? There are
so many different types of XML-docs that I cannot make separate form for
each, so I'm thinking ok, something that converts the XML data into HMTL
form, which can be then edited, and submitted. Finally the submitted data
needs to be written back into an XML file.
Also - at the moment I have nothing that would write the data back into
XML. Any ideas? Or generally XML parsing/writing recommendations?
Thanks
