Re: Generating XML Post data

I've got to send XML via POST to a proprietary database. The db
will reply with XML. I'm guessing that this can all be done with PHP to
build the forms and receive the data. The two basic jobs are to wrap
the data up as XML and send it, then to get it back, unpack it and make
it HTML. I'm used to working with Perl and running everything on the
one server. Any good pointers for working with PHP/XML? and suggestions
for handling the forms the user sends. I imagine that the form targets
a PHP or CGI on our server, which passes the query to the db and then
builds pages with the results.


Malcolm,

Are you aware that you can use AppleScript for that. The data flow would be:

HTML form -> special cgi provided with Smile Server -> AS handler where you use XMLLib to: process form's data, handle db, and generate XHTML to return.

Check Satimage-software's site, or ask me. Two sites which use this configuration:
http://www.quomodo.com
http://www.mwol.com
