There are some hints in the FAQ > on how to get this done. that was what i first thought of, too. but we must hold the data very atomic and have over 40 tables int the database so that we are able to model every possible depth of hirarchy, unlimited number of languages and as many properties to a product as we want to. to add a anew product is not just an insert to one table but many inserts to many different tables. and this application logic should be hidden from php and the windows client and the extractor for the print catalog. otherewise we will end up writing it three times and only one change would be a horror. > Not nearly as sexy as a CORBA implementation, of course. and giving php a corba interface would allow much mor great things. indeed this is a point where php is still behind asp which can talk dcom without problems. and no question corba is _much_ cooler than dcom :) stefan
