Have read some basic tutorials on xml and understand that xml is a markup
language used to describe data using tags which can be defined by the user.
Am about to start work on a content rich information site which will be
dynamic using php and mysql for many of the sites functions.
From what I can gather I have a number of options to get the content into
the webpages:
1. Feed content from a database into the web pages
2. Create content in conventional html pages with php templates to write the
surrounding navigation and site features into the rest of the page
But can XML be used instead?
How would xml be used to get the content from an xml page into the site?
Would it be easier to just use one of the methods listed above? At the
moment I am veering towards method number 2.
Does anyone have any links to xml tutorials which demonstrate how to feed
content written in xml format into a html document?
Am I barking (mad) up the wrong tree?!
