Re: [LUG] Meeting 15-12-2002



I would like and intro into MySQL, PHP, XML. I want to bring my Laptop along and get Apache Setup along with MySQL, and PHP Modules. So I can begin playing aroung with it. In the long term I would like to rewrite the Uglyrock Website with User Logins, MySQL backend and loads of stuff. I just need a starting point really. Complete Novice when it comes to this stuff

Thanks Rick

OK, are we talking MySQL here or are you hoping I'll get deep into shopping baskets? File I/O, sessions, cookies and MySQL can be covered (although sessions and cookies not fully). It's a question of how much you've done already and whether others would require a more introductory content.




As for XML, I had a go with the stuff on the
site and was quite disappointed at Mozilla's rather poor effort at
displaying it.... I don't like the idea of using something IE only :-(



That's the beauty of XML - it isn't IE based because it isn't WWW based. AbiWord uses XML format files. XML is not HTML, it's MUCH bigger than that.


The Mozilla output is simply because only Microsoft have implemented a transformational stylesheet format which, typically, isn't quite what the W3C have published. XML is still very new and standards are being re-written all the time.

More useful are applications for the desktop that use XML for data storage of all kinds.
