Project development methods MYSQL/XML Driven

Post by kendall »

Hey guys,

I have bee asked to help in the redevelopment of a database driven site....http://triniscene.com

currently the site lacks effecient means of content management and updating and there is a constant strain on the server in terms of page loading and database use.

I am trying to impliment a system that relies on being able to make the website less overloaded from visits buy trying to make eveything xml output.

the thing about this is while i want to have everything displayable via xml i can't so it may mean that someparts would probably remain database driven or both. e.g. i'm thinking about making the photo gallery section strictly xml but the rest of the website is php/ mysql->xml

my question to you guys for advice is

in my approach to re-developing this website what do you recommend as a style to adopt when looking at decreasing page loading and server overloading as well as database strain and above all making the content more managable.

anyone got any resources that may help me with this?

If you use PHP 5, the XML part is simple to do. You can also use PHP to create the XML from the database. I'm currently doing the same sort of task on another site, but I'm doing a poor job at it at the moment. Good Luck.
