I'm trying to make my life easier. This is something which invariables
leaves it more complicated. Anyway, our web stores run off an XSLT / XML
engine in PHP. It works well, but coding each of tables I needed for
different data types (users, configurations, etc., etc.) was a mess... so
I'm trying to abstract all that. The XML and XSLT for one thing I've already
got working is below.
My question is this: I now want to create a template that looks at the data types, creates a row for displaying such data, and displays it all. But that would require loops running through seperate nodes and I totally don't understand how to do that. Any comments about or help with the idea or the implementation would be appreciated.
