Sunil talks of inventory data, can i assume a RDBMS holds this information? Sunil suggests [reading between the lines] the end result is to view this inventory data with a browser. so again, "why XML?" i have yet to write one line of XML. i use PHP to extract the proper data from any RDBMS and dispaly it in a browser. there is no 'middle' step. there is only [almost] real time access to the REAL data in the database. how does tcl and XML help in this scenario? -ski p.s. i am a huge fan of tcl... and do use it often in my PHP solutions. i just do not see the value of XML here. |
