Re: XSL and php or rpg

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Not much experience, recently I did a report in XML using CGIDEV2 for
another computer to read, and later I added a XSL to use the same data
in a human readable screen (not as ugly as a XML without format)
Results are great, and not to much work.

As someone who is only a debutant in php but not bad in xsl, this looks like a great idea. I don't see why it would not be a great idea even for an expert in php. The article is already 10 years old, so I wondered if there are any disadvantages to this way of doing things as I have not read of such a technique before. Also, couldn't the same technique be applied to developping with CGIDEV? I have only a little experience with this, but wouldn't it be so much simpler if the rpg program only had to generate XML?
