I want to send an xml string as a get parameter,
where the xml is created from a runtime
database query. I try to avoid dynamic framesets,
but sometimes they're needed:
$xml = mysql_stuff($x, $y,$z);
echo "<frameset...>" ;
echo "<frame src=".$PHP_SELF ."?xml=".$xml." >";
snip....
That didn't work, so I tried urlencoding various pieces:
$xmlstr = urlencode($xml) ;
echo "<frameset .....>";
echo "<frame src=".$PHP_SELF ."%3Fxml=".$xml str.">"
.....then, at the other end of the recursive pipe:
$encodedXML = $_GET['xml'];
$xml = urldecode($enco dedXML);
But that causes trouble too.
I suppose I could serialize the xml and save it
as a session variable. There must be a way to pass
XML as a parameter, from one php process to another. 5 7712

Why would you need to serialize the xml? It's already a string.
In this case the obvious answer is to pass $x, $y, and $z on the URL and
then retrieve the XML data from the database.

That was a guess: $xml = $_GET['xml'] doesn't retrieve the string
in useable format.

....because I want to have a page generation module that isn't
tied to mysql, so I can gather xml from any source and then transform
that into html on the fly.
I think I've figured out how to use Smarty Template to do what I want.

There are far better ways of keeping database code from mingling with
interface code. The simplest would be to write a function.
Passing page content on the URL is always wrong, because you're letting the
world+dog modify your site. I could fashion a URL with an XML containing,
say, a something about killing the US president, then dump the URL into
Google. Now anyone who chance upon that page will think that you want to
kill the pres.

Fine, but I'm not passing page content...only a few parameters,
collected however I want, and then passed around in xml format--it's a
convenient way to pass small but variable length lists of layout
parameters, server-side handles to images, text files etc. I can
specify
what eventually becomes a hundred lines of html in a dozen lines of xml
(I'm not talking about xslt)...I have my own ways of doing that.
The inherently predictable nature of XML makes it possible to
dynamically generate automatically operational data entry and data
query
GUI screens. That's the real reason to use XML as a parameter transport
mechanism. GUI screens that operate over relational data inevitably
require
manual, hand coded programming time. XML data can be manipulated by
entirely machine generated interfaces.
Take a look at http://neurosys.cns.montana.edu....to see a more
elaborate argument for using xml as a data transport mechanism.
I think what you want to do is use cURL - this enables you to pass
get and post statements via Curl, then you can parse the resonse from
the xml server, and use the variables in an object.

Hi folks,
I would be interested to hear peoples views on whether or not 'pass by

The thing that troubles me about pass-by-reference into a WebService is that
essentially we are passing an address of an object which resides on the
'local machine' i.e. a local machine object address. Surely when the
WebService method is called and run 'on the server', the reference type will
