Dear all,
I have been impressed by the reporting functionality (including many dynamic filtering functions) that I could build with XML / XSL.
The next stage will certainly be to accept input from the users and this will certainly eventually need to be handled on the server (using asp or php) but for one specific need (content management), I would like to get a XSL screen to write data back to the XML file.
I was on the Chris Bayes web site (http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml/index.xml?/xml/main.xml) and found some great examples where I could do client side updating of the XML file but realised that the updates could not be written back to the XML file unless I used a server-side command (i.e. the data entries 'died' as soon as I closed the session).
Chris mentions that it is possible to write to a local XML file (saved to a local hard drive) but he goes on to explain the server methods without going into writing changes locally.
Maybe someone has a tip or a HOWTO that will explain how I can save changes back to a local XML file.
Many thanks,
Alan Searle
