hello friends, I am php programmer and now I am learning XML. So could anyone discuss on below topics. What are the benefits of XML? When you can use it on our website? In which scenario we can use XML on PHP & MySQL? And many more… I hope all the developer who read this topic will share their working knowledge on it. I am waiting for your replies. Thank you !
Yes exactly my thoughts -- if you have an "use case scenario for XML" it'll definitely drive your learning curve down. Some examples will be: - Parsing of web pages - Processing of syndicated feeds - import and export of database information Related technologies include XPath, XSL, XSLT. These do transformation and modifications to XML, either in-memory or file-based. ~ Firefighter, Broadens.com
XML will play an important role in web page authoring as we migrate to the Semantic Web -- especially in conjunction with RDF and DC Metadata. Example: http://jp29.org/rdfaprimer.php James
