Hi,

Think im on the right path here. What I am trying to do here is to read data from a mysql database based on a certain condition. I then want to use that data to produce an SVG drawing. Where do I start?

re: Take data from mysql database

First step: Figure out all the data that you need in order to produce the SVG. Which fields do you need to extract?

Next step: Write a query to extract those fields.

Final step: Convert the query results to SVG.

I was going to use an xml page for this. Is this how it should be done or should I use a HTML or PHP page with some embedded SVG?
