Re: Php and XSL

[Mike <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>]

The way I understand it (I am sure I'm wrong), XSL gives you a way to
display an XML document into HTML. PHP gives you way to interact with the
database to display data (much like RPG). Not sure what you are thinking
here, but you would want to use PHP for your website and XSL to work with
XML.
