Building an xml based content management sytem

[gog93rpf]

Hi there,

I am planning to build a cms using xml and php to transfer it to the web. Have I got the process below right ?

1. Form with various text inputs
2. Data taken from form with xml attrtibute e.g. title and sent to my db as xml fragments e.g. <title>news headline here</title>
3. Each record has the dtd and xsl noted with it
4. Web visitor finds news.php
5. News.php extracts xml data from db, uses the xsl and dtd to output xhtml to browser.

Could you let me know if this is correct ?

If so, where would I enter browser sniffing code to create different styles for different browsers ? (or have I missed the point of xsl).

Does the file news.php actually write the xsl and xml file to the screen – what do I need to include in this file ?

Thanks for any help in advance,

Rich

this wont help you achieve what you want but CMS's are hard to make if you want it really powerful meaning not all in control.... But i guess thats only if your giving away for others to use
