How much do you trust the remote applications? How much power do you need to give them for them to be able to generate the correct output for their space allocated to them? How much data needs to transfer for them to know what content to generate? How much content will the be generating? How flexible will this need to be for A and B content decisions? What sort of volume of traffic are you looking at? Until we know more, our answer remains: "Yes, you can do this any number of ways, depending on what you want to do" You can web-scrape, you can SOAP, you can RPC, you can require source code back and forth, you can get the elves to do all the work for you. We don't know which way you want to go with this either, because we don't know any of the parameters that affect the decisions, much less know what you're actually trying to do. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
