I am looking into using PHP for XML file parsing.

The way that I would like to use it is as follows:

1. user views a .xml file
2. the mime type causes a standard .php file to parse the document
3. the parsed value will then be returned to output.

I know that I could do the same deal via a query string, where the .xml file is called into a standard script.

for example: xmlparse.php?file=[the file to parse]

I would however like to do it differently. I am sure that this would need to be set up in the .htaccess or .httpconfig, but I am unsure of how I would do this, or if it would even be possible.

I know that it can be done with Java servlets, so I am guessing that it could also be done by php. Anyone have input on this?

Add this to .htaccess or httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-parse .xml
Action application/x-httpd-parse "/parser/parser.php?file="

Location of the parser in the second line is relative to DocumentRoot.

Enjoy!
