Hi Gerry
The XML isn't coming directly from a database, it's coming from an IIS
server that i query (i generate XML file containing the parameters of the
query, POST it to the IIS machine, it runs some .ASP to query an inhouse
database, then POST the XML results back to me)
I then parse the XML to generate a HTML table, however sometimes i may end
up with a massive table, and i'm trying to find a way to break that table
into pages of 25 results. However, i'm completely stumped how to do this :(
Regards
Girish

fputs($fp, $header . $parameters);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$response .= fgets($fp,$appserverPacketSize);
}
fclose($fp);
}
return cleanXML($response); // custom function to strip HTTP
headers from fetched data.
}

Hello Girish,
I can't help you with your problem, as I am just getting acquainted with
XML myself. I've been doing some research to assess the feasibility of
using PHP and XML for a web-based database-driven application.
If you don't mind, could you share with me how you are using XML? Are you
retrieving / querying / storing data from a database?
Thanks,
Gerry Kirk
