PHP & XML????

Post by Prom1 »

Hello everyone I'm new here and plan on asking manny questions along with my results in the wonderful world of programming from a newbies point of view.

I want to know if I can use PHP to interpret XML & XML Schema to make a website??? This is highly important to me as my goal is to purchase a PowerMac, use APache & PHP along with XML to build a dynamic website. Is this possible??

Thanks in advance,
Donovan! :P

absolutely. in fact the Phuse engine searches xml documents from the various websites and then from there displays the results. http://www.hotscipts.com might have some xml parsers you could use.

MyDimension,
Thanks again from what I could find, I might be implementing "class.xml.php" by Hans Anderson at this link: http://pathtech.mirrors.phpclasses.org/ ... ass/4.html since it takes XML data into objexts named as the tags in the XML data cdata for values. But my main interest for going to XML instead of HTML (all varieties) is a) I dont know any programming, and b) because I need my future site to be SyncML compatible--which is based on XML code!!

Thanks again,
and I hope that I can help in the future!
