Well, look at that, shows how much I know about php, doesn't it. I don't
see that in my php online docs. Time to do a php upgrade, I guess - I
hadn't realized I was that out of date. Or maybe I just didn't install
everything. In any case, checking now I see that various, interesting,
XML related capabilities are documented in the php manual (not mine, but
the one at the php web site), so I guess the php manual is still the best
place to look.
: // Step 3: Output the document that will be sent to the viewers browser
: echo "<html>\n";
: echo "<head>\n";
: echo "\t<link href='collection.css' type='text/css'
: rel='stylesheet'/>\n";
: echo "</head>\n";
: echo "<body>\n";
: echo $cdListHtml;
: echo "</body>\n";
: echo "</html>\n";
: ?>
thanks, bye.
