Re: Send and Receive XML

You could read my XML parsing HOWTO on phpbuilder :O) here is the link: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/joe20000907.php3 If you have any questions you can email me privately - unless others are interested as well. My opinion is that your VB server should do a datadump into XML and your *NIX server should then wget every so often - if you have to have it live have your VB server POST a variable that is in fact XML, explode the variable by "\n" and parse it real time (that would kick ass - haven't done it, but I know it's possible) Just my $0.02! --Joe On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 09:23:47AM +1000, Samantha Savvakis wrote: > Hi, > > I'm not really sure if this is the right list to be sending this to, but I > have a few questions about how to send and receive XML files and don't know > where else to write to. > > We are implementing a B2B solution between my company and another and I > would like to do all the data transfer using XML, rather than some > proprietary file format. > > The other company will be using VB on client PC and I'm using PHP and C++ on > a unix web server.
