Subject: Re: [xsl] Create a web interface to query a XML database From: Manuel Souto Pico <m.soutopico@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 02:27:39 +0200 |
Dear Vyacheslav and Martin, Thanks a lot for your replies. I don't know what differences there are exactly between the two versions but everything I've done so far in XSLT was with version 2.0 (because I had to use for-each-groups, for example). I wouldn't mind using version 1.0, however. Martin, is PHP the only way I can create HTML forms to send the parameters to XSLT? Assuming I use PHP for that, the workflow would be something like PHP-HTML page with a form to enter the search term, which is sent to the XSLT stylesheet, which uses it in a if or when condition to produce a HTML page with the results, is all this correct? And everything happens on the server-side. I'm also having a look at the eXist sugggestion by Vyacheslav, thanks ;) It seems that implies using XForms as well as XQuery, but on the client-side, so your browser needs to have support for XForms (IExplorer does, but latest version of Firefox does not). Thanks a lot, I'll keep checking this thread and, if I eventually manage, will post a summary of my adventure ;) Cheers, Manuel 2009/9/30 Martin Honnen <Martin.Honnen@xxxxxx>: > Manuel Souto Pico wrote: > >> Well, I just wanted to let you know what I intend to you, perhaps you >> can advice me some way to go.
