I think XML and XSLT are the alternative of Smarty template engine. But i dont know how i can sepeatate my code using XML and XSL style sheets? If anyone can give me more information then it would be nice.
I know how to write XSL style sheet along with XML document. But i really dont know what contents should be in XML. If XML contains data (and it is true) then what is the need of MySQL? At last i can say i don't know application of XML and XSL for seperating PHP and HTML code. Please Clear my doubts.
