Wouldn't XSLT document be filled with input forms if I want to receive
information from the customers?
XHTML forms are probly the most ubiquitous way to get data from a user to an
application. and to be specific, the xsl files are those that would
contain the XHTML forms.
There is no great rationale to convert data from the form into XML prior to
further processing that immediately comes to mind, though im sure there may
be a suitable reason for it somewhere. Naturally, when users submit data to
your application, the very first thing you should do w/ it is validate it.
If that works out
you can pass said data along for further processing and potentially modify
the application database. Therefore if you plan on using PHP, which im
assuming you are
at this point, the action attribute of the form tags within xsl files will
reference PHP files. Those PHP files will process the data as i just
described.

Let say I'm transferring mysql database to XML and display product
information on a website with XSLT.
If I'm not sending user inputted information through XML back to mysql
database,
Wouldn't XSLT document be filled with input forms if I want to receive
information from the customers?
Or bottomline is it more convenient and clear coding (with XSLT, XML) to
just directly send customer data through PHP POST in to mysql database?

Kevin,
would you mind sending the particular url w/ the content you are
referring to?
also, data doesnt necessarily need to go through xml on its way back
to the database.
consider a web form for instance which might submit data to your
application via HTTP POST.
in that case you could simply process the data in a familiar way and
insert / update or whatever, the database as appropriate.
aside from that if you wanted to send XML elements to the database
you could do so in one of several ways.
the XML could be stored natively of course, but i think what youre
asking about is getting the contents of a particular tag, say, and insert
that into a particular field in a table. to accomplish this use
SimpleXML or DOM to parse the XML and traverse to the node whose data you
mean to insert (or update or whatever) into the database; store it
in a variable and use it in a query at a later point in the code.

One of his tutorials explained how to transfer MySQL data to XML,
however obviously the data is not always static, it needs to be changed
sending the data back to MySQL through XML.
Do you know how to send XML elements back in to MySQL database?
Thanks!

i havent had time to fully explore the material from Tony yet,
but so far ive been building XML entirely in memory rather than reading in a
complete file, parsing it and placing data at certain points. one thing i
would like to explore is either DTDs or XMLSchema to validate the XML
against. in that case even w/ the approach i currently take there would
still be files on disk. as long as said XML files have practical permissions
i dont think having them on disc is a great security risk.

Since XML is just a text document, wouldn't it raise security

I'm using XSLT to make a website template and XML to
describe the data
on
my
website. Do I parse the data from MySQL to XML in
order to apply styles
and
display them as XHTML with XSLT?
I would have to use PHP to parse XML, however I was
unclear on how to
pass
MySQL data to XML in order for it do be displayed
through XSLT template.
Do you know a good reference (website, book, article)
for the most
correct
way to display MySQL data with XML/XSLT/PHP?
