Appropriate framework for a small personal website

Post by maverick007 »

Hi everyone
I'm developing my personal website. While I can do it using plain HTML/CSS, I thought about this. How about, I keep the content in XML format on the server and use some engine that parses these XML files and renders my website. The webserver that I have a (non root) account on, allows PHP. I don't have database access and don't want to go that route.
I reckon there must be frameworks/tools for this kind of thing out there. Any suggestions where I should be looking?
Thanks

I think you should just stick to using HTML/CSS until you have an account with access
to database.

You can use PHP's SimplXML functions to easily read the XML files. Once you generate the pages from the XML, you may want to cache them. A library like Zend_Cache would help you do that.
