Yes, I said PHP 5.2 specifically. :-) I did find this: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-xinclude.php So I'm figuring that XInclude is safe, assuming I give it enough RAM. (It's not a small dataset.) I'm not sure how multi-file output would work, though, given the API. EXSLT has a multi-file method, I think, but it's been a long time since I used it and I don't know what PHP's support for that is like. That's rather why I'm asking. :-) On Saturday 09 June 2007, Richard Lynch wrote: > I believe PHP 5 support for XML is pretty darn good. > > If you're in PHP 4, forget it... > There's like 3 different XML libraries, all with warts, and I'm pretty > sure none of them support the fancy stuff you need. > > On Thu, June 7, 2007 1:02 am, Larry Garfield wrote: > > Hi all.

So? -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
