[PHP-WIN] Re: Subject: execute before fopen? From: Neil Smith (neil <email protected>)

I'm not sure I understand your problem. You want to use an external exe to
*read* the XML then load into PHP to print it out ? When you say print do
you mean literally print, on paper, or print as in display ?

Why not parse the file within PHP using either Expat parser and XSL, or
use XPath DOM functions to walk the tree and format it that way. It would
be more appropriate imho. You can always load the transformed XML into a
browser and print / style it using CSS.

Cheers,
Neil Smith.
