No, sorry if I wasn't clear. The processing page is a PHP script on the back end as well. The XML data being pushed to it would include specification as to what action(s) the processing page would take. A crude example would be something like the following. User clicks on a link for "Current News". The URL for which is: www.domain.com/controller.php?request=CurrentNews controller.php would then push the following XML to process_news.php (yes, I know it's not well formed. just trying to show a quick example) <newsitem> <action>display</action> <range_start>-7 days</range_start> <range_end>0 days</range_end> <topic>Current</topic> </newsitem> process_news.php would take that information, process it and spit out the relevant data to the user. Another possibility would be when an administrator wants to add a new News item. The form script would push something like the following to process_news.php: <newsitem> <action>insert</action> <headline>Extra!</headline> <newsbody>NewsBody</newsbody> <publishdate>Today</publishdate> </newsitem> and it would take that information, process it and add the new record to the DB. That's basically what I'm trying to do. Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
