[ciapug] xml writing/validating

[Carl Olsen]

I read and write XML with PHP, but nothing as complex as what you are doing.
I've never used a dtd/xsd definition file with it.  I use it to read and
write simple data (very few nodes), and I also use it to create RSS.  The
dtd/xsd rules are fairly well defined for RSS and not very complex.  I can't
remember the function library I use, but it's something like simple_xml or
some such PHP function library (not sure what version - I use PHP 5.2.0).
I'm sure this information is not going to be very much help, but the more I
use XML the more I appreciate what it can do.  So, please share any
information you get.

Carl

anyone writing xml with php?

maybe I don't know what I'm looking for, but it seems to me there should 
be a class, you pass a dtd/xsd to the constructor, then you can create 
elements based on the dtd/xsd (yes, just that simple :)

it looks like the pear::xml_fastcreate looks close, but isn't officially 
packaged for rhel4.3

what are you guys using for writers/validators?  anything php4.3/rhel4.3 
compatible is especially welcome
