php-help needed asap!

[zenith]

dunno if anyone can help but I need a bit of help with a php project.

basically, im doing a college project where we have to make a website using a content management system with php. ours if of a record company so we have 5 bands with different sections that can be added to, updated and deleted. theyre all on an xml file which is linked the php, etc

we also want to be able to upload images and audio files in this section. we have the code to upload and it works fine but the problem is trying to incorporate the upload bit into the main section for updating the band, ie we want it in the same place where you can update news, etc. but we don't know how to include it with the xml and have it function properly.

anyone any clues? i'd really appreciate any help!

thanks in advance!

Now that is handy to know ... starchaser, i'll be onto you in a few months fella !!

Lads, with them lads in the US of A being up for another while, you might try DevShed (http://forums.devshed.com)

There are 60 people looking at the Php section right now .... lash a question up there and you'll get a reply (warning: they wont do it for you, so you have to do all the homework before going back with another question)

i never ever use PEAR libraries - i hate that lack of control. thats just me - i just like to know my code initimately. so i just have my own libraries.
everything you see on that URL above is written from scratch. php really is the bollocks like. "RUBY ON RAILS"? web 2.0 hype? - fuck off... we already have it. its just php. and it works.



if you dont catch me on here mail addy is

starchaser ... just one question ... what are pear libraries, do you mean some of the built in libraries or something ?

[Echoboy]

Anyone ??

pear repository.

its handy out.

there's a command line client for it - basically allows to add more functionality to PHP.

http://pear.php.net/

upside of PEAR: easy to add very powerful stuff to get things done

downside: the code is written by someone else, so you never truely understand how it works.


i like to handroll my own libraries, but that's just me and my own preferences - like to be at the coalface so to speak.
