RE: [PHP] XML news from moreover (OT) From: Andrew Hill (ahill <email protected>)
Date: 09/26/00

Hi Lewis,

I've actually done this with my company's Virtuoso product
http://www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso. Not a php solution, but I figured I'd
answer it here - if you don't want to use a commercial product maybe someone
on the list can suggest a similar architecture. What I've done is:

1. set up an automatic, timed replication of a URL from moreover's XML
feeds.
2. this gets saved as a website folder within a WebDAV repository in
Virtuoso (i.e. non-relational, XML resource)
3. I then have a XSL sheet written to format the specific type of feed
4. I push it through Virtuoso's in-build XSLT engine, and produce the custom
formatted webpage.
5. the page is always current (at whatever interval I set) and relational
data can be included as well, since the database is also a webserver.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Andrew
