I would like to know if there is something very simple where I can get the data from the XML file. What I am looking for is I have some data in the XML file and would like that to be read and display in pages. Also I have been reading this days about the XML and XSLT file but I am not sure how xslt file displays all into the browser from the XML
XML is the data, while XSLT is the stylesheet or how the XML information should be displayed. You can define the XML as either data or as an input form - you don't actually need PHP to decipher the XML if you have a well-defined XSLT file. Have a look at the following links for XML/XSLT definitions: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_editxml.asp http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_transformation.asp You can, however, use PHP to parse an XML file and display the XML information that way. Look at the following areas on PHP.net for functions. Just ensure that the XML/XSLT extensions are included in your installation: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php
