From the PHP manual under XSLT: 1) you do : "select * from mytable" 2) then --------------------------------------- $fld1=$result->fields[0]; // you can do "for" here :) $fld_name1=$result->fieldname[0];// certainly fieldname function must return field name $myxml.="<$fld_name1>$fld1</fld_name1>" --------------------------------------- 3) write your xsl stylesheet to apply selected data. 4) Apply xsl to $myxml :) Regards, Paul > I guess it comes down to the best tool for the job. > > Lux > > > > -- > > PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: pear-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > > For additional commands, e-mail: pear-dev-help@lists.php.net > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > > > > > > > > -- > PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: pear-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: pear-dev-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
