How much experience do you have? Building this project from scratch with no PHP experience would be a huge first project, you'd risk making security mistakes, and you wouldn't be able to plan a schedule. If you don't have much PHP experience, it would make more sense to buy and install a pre-made appointment booking system.

If you are going to build it yourself, what made you decide to use XML? So far, I've found that XML is great when I need to communicate with other backend systems... but when it's all in house, there's not much need. And what made you decide to use PHP for that matter?

Dear Etully

Thank you for your respond

I am studing Master course, so I decided to build booking system as a topic to my dissertation, during the study time I studied XML and I am interesting to build a website for a surgery to help patient to book appointment and also to register online and I would like to use this language because it is new language and interesting and I have experience in HTML. Regarding PHP I have little knowledge in this direction but I have friend who has good experience in PHP and maybe he help me to cover the security matter so please give me your opinion maybe I will use different software.

Many thanks

I hope your friend understands how much work he's going to have to put in 😛

Maybe your friend (the one with the experience) should be the one writing the application, and giving you bits to do as teaching aids.

I create XML and XSL pages and also I create login in php and table in MySQL for users but when I combined them there is no result. Can I use <xsl:include> to call php in xsl. also I would like to know how I can display the current day in xsl.
