RE: [PHP] Re: PHP & XML

I still wouldn't use XML for this. I mean, all the articles are in the database, and I'm already using PHP to pull them out and format them into html, right? I can just as easily use PHP to put them into all those other formats. So again, why waste time with XML unless I need to feed these articles to others, like in a newsfeed situation?

But if I were ever I would definitely invest the effort that is required, but until then I will save myself from the extra work.

Let's imagine you create a website of an online magazine, this magazine publishes in HTML, PDF, TXT, PS, etc, etc, etc. How would you do it? I would use XML to write the articles and then stylesheets to transform the articles to the formats I want. Write once, publish anywhare ;-)
