Is there a way around > this so that I can use XSL instead of Smarty? have you tried rdf serialized as xml and displayed w/ xslt? you could also do it on the clientside (with xslt) obviously and palm off the presentation to the client; or ecmascript over json encoded data. still unsure why you'd want to display petabytes of data in one page though; normally we'd use paging for this - at which point you take that out of the equation and decision should be down to whether you want to publish your (petabytes of) data as human readable data or as both human and machine readable data. If the decision is both then look into rdf as xml w/ xslt or as XHTML+RDFa for the smarty approach. regards! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
