Forgot a step: (1C) make an xslt stylesheet which is basically just a beefed-up html page. Check out devshed.cm xml.com and w3c.org for info on xslt stlyesheets Geoff Hankerson wrote:

I don't know how to work with XML... I know that it's a good standard to pass information between computer or applications, but I don't know how to separe my data from my presentation on my PHP projects. I always use OOP, I organize all the data in databases and clases, but I always have to put some code on my presentation files, like index.php, viewstock.php, and it will be great if I can organize my projects so the presentation can be handled by any designersm, at this time I always have to make the changes on the presentation files because I am the one who know about PHP. Can you give some example about how to separate the data from the presentation using XML and databases? Or can you tell me about a project where I can see it? Thank you.
1. Convert sql queries into xml (I'm glad to send a copy of my class if you'd like) basically its: A. Loop over query as you normally would B. Loop through each column in a record for a query and make an xml compatible string like:
       <record>
               <fieldname> value </fieldname>
       </record>
2. Then just follow the xslt section of the php manual it's pretty straight forward
Give it a shot, if you have trouble send specific questions to the list I and quite a few other will be glad to help
