Hi, I'm new to the forum and dev work (primarily a XHTML/ css designer) so apologies if I've posted in the wrong place and if I seem like I ask some obvious questions!
I am designing/ developing a product promo page for a client, where I have 2 lots of source data. I hope to power the page using Oracle asdb, but for an image url and brand description I have an XML feed via URL.
My prob (aside form writing the code!) is that I'm not sure how to go about this. I want the product listings to be dynamic, so all I have to do is edit the db directly to update per month (obviously, scripting a cms input at a later stage). The XML feed is generated by product code, so therefore ideally want to put this into the db and not see or edit the xml feed directly.
So, my rough plan at the moment:
- Have a db table powering the product listings and the xml feed generated by a product code stored in said db table - the script then reads the xml data and displays the output.
The web server I'm using is running php 4.3.9 which I'm guessing might be a prob when it comes to handling the xml?
Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated
