PHPDeveloper's New Look
Mar 20, 2003 @ 23:41:52

Well, I've been working on it for a while now, and things are getting closer and closer all the time, but the new look isn't quite done.

I'm basically rewriting the entire site, using only the new technologies that I've been learning - XML, XSL style sheets, Apache aliases, some new PHP tricks, and, of course, some creative database work. The way it's actually set up now is that I can pull the info from the DB into XML, which is parsed by the XSL style sheets (which is rendered into HTML). The result is a complete layered approach, separating the content from the layout.

There's also some pretty cool things that are going on with the forms that I've worked up (XML based as well). The XML->XSL->HTML form transformation still applies, but the PHP allows you to submit the form to a handler script that will, based on the form name, do things all different ways.

I know it's all kind of confusing, and probably wouldn't make sense even if you did see it, but trust me, things are working faster than ever on the new site - and any suggestions you might have on it will be happily accepted...
