Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	I have two projects ahead of me that i could possibly realise in XML (as far as my knowledge of xml goes). I just need to know if it is feasable to do them in XML or if a database would be better: Project one would be a table of details (lets say cars) like this: [code] Make/Model Color Any good?;-) Extras Porsche Turbo seal grey yes radar detector fitted BMW M3 fly yellow yes smg II Volvo rust no a sticker[/code] It usually has around 100 entries and is updated frequently. The final HTML and PDF documents should always have the list sorted by car make. Project two would be a real estate database of the same style as the above. I like XML because the car list should be available via PDF as well, so i don't have to update two documents anymore. Which one would be better for the two projects? Can someone point me to a tutorial with XML and how to display tabular data. <´¯`·.¸ Patric ¸.·´¯`> Loading...
