Fwd: PHP support on incubator.apache.org

2006-08-29 Thread David Wheeler

Well, it looks like we can't use PHP on the new site, so I will have to
re-write the generation script to create static HTML pages.

Hi,

I'm developing  a new site for the Apache Tuscany to be published at

The new site is bsaed around an xml parsing script written in PHP. Would
there be any problems in posting this to the server?


Yes.  We don't run any dynamic content (with the exception of our
download cgi scripts and certain legacy exceptions) on the main
websites.  This allows us to easily mirror/backup/recreate the sites
on other servers.

You can, however, use php to generate your static html that you use
for the site, if you wish.  If you specifically need dynamic content
(to show off your technology, for example), there is a "zones" server
designed for that.  But in this case, I think you would be better off
just choosing a different way to generate your site.  There are plenty
of ways to get static html from xml.

You can do the context menu stuff - you can either use a separate  
style sheet per section, or have a single style sheet that includes a  
menu based on a property in the XML.

Dave,
Can you give some consideration to using the Anikia processor for what your 
doing.  I'm not saying I'm big fan of it, but since other projects are also 
using it maybe they too could benefit from your work?  Maybe there is something 
you could contribute back.  Just a thought.
