[. . . ] (You'll notice that the sample code contains no font, table, or heading tags. ) Once you have an XML schema, you can use Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) to display the information. In the way that Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) let you format HTML, XSL lets you format XML data. You can define styles, page elements, layout, and so forth in an XSL file and attach it to an XML file so that when a user views the XML data in a browser, the data is formatted according to whatever you've defined in the XSL file. The content (the XML data) and presentation (defined by the XSL file) are entirely separate, providing you with greater control over how your information appears on a web page. In essence, XSL is a presentation technology for XML, where the primary output is an HTML page. Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is a subset language of XSL that actually lets you display XML data on a web page, and "transform" it, along with XSL styles, into readable, styled information in the form of HTML. You can use Dreamweaver to create XSLT pages that let you perform XSL transformations using an application server or a browser. When you perform a server-side XSL transformation, the server does the work of transforming the XML and XSL, and displaying it on the page. When you perform a client-side transformation, a browser (such as Internet Explorer) does the work. The approach you ultimately take (server-side transformations versus client-side transformations) depends on what you are trying to achieve as an end result, the technologies available to you, the level of access you have to XML source files, and other factors. For example server-side transformations work in all browsers while client-side transformations are restricted to modern browsers only (Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 8, Mozilla 1. 8, and Firefox 1. 0. 2). Server-side transformations let you display XML data dynamically from your own server or from anywhere else on the web, while client-side transformations must use XML data that is locally hosted on your own web server. Lastly, server-side transformations require that you deploy your pages to a configured application server, while client-side transformations only require access to a web server.
Learn about using XML and XSL with web pages 177
This tutorial takes you through the steps of creating an XSLT page and performing a client-side transformation (mainly because the client-side workflow is much easier to execute, and doesn't require the use of an application server. ) For more information about other ways to deploy XSLT pages, see "Learn about other deployment options" on page 194.
Learn about XSLT pages
When working with server-side XSL transformations, you can use Dreamweaver to create XSLT pages that generate full HTML documents (entire XSLT pages), or XSLT fragments that generate a portion of an HTML document. It contains a <body> tag and a <head> tag, and lets you display a combination of HTML and XML data on the page. An XSLT fragment is a piece of code, used by a separate document, that displays formatted XML data. Unlike an entire XSLT page, it is an independent file that contains no <body> or <head> tag. If you want to display XML data on a page of its own, you would create an entire XSLT page, and bind your XML data to it. If, on the other hand, you wanted to display XML data in a particular section of an existing dynamic page--for example, a dynamic home page for a sporting goods store, with sports scores from an RSS feed displayed on one side of the page--you would create an XSLT fragment and insert a reference to it in the dynamic page. Creating XSLT fragments, and using them in conjunction with other dynamic pages to display XML data is the more common scenario when working with server-side transformations. In this tutorial, you'll create an entire XSLT page and use it to transform a sample XML file. The transformation will be a client-side transformation that uses a modern browser (Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 8, Mozilla 1. 8, or Firefox 1. 0. 2). Server-side transformations are beyond the scope of this tutorial as they require that you have an application server configured with a transformation engine. [. . . ] The MySQL client's command prompt appears, as follows:
mysql>
4.
On the Macintosh, enter the following command:
mysql -uUser -pPassword
For example, if your MySQL user name (also known as an account name) and password are Tara and Telly3, enter the following command:
mysql -uTara -pTelly3
If you don't have a password, omit the -p argument as follows:
mysql -uTara
If you didn't define a user name while configuring your MySQL installation, enter root as the user name, as follows:
mysql -uroot
The MySQL client's command prompt appears, as follows:
mysql> 5.
Create a new database by entering the following command at the MySQL prompt:
mysql>CREATE DATABASE CafeTownsend;
MySQL creates a new database, but it doesn't contain any tables or records yet.
6.
Log out of the MySQL client by entering the following command at the prompt:
mysql>quit;
7.
(Windows) Open the Windows command prompt by selecting Start > Run, and typing cmd in the Run dialog box.
Connecting to the sample database (PHP) 317
8.
At the system command prompt, populate the new CafeTownsend database in MySQL. In Windows, use the following command:
cd \ cd Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4. x\bin mysql -uUser -pPassword CafeTownsend < insert. sql
On the Macintosh, use the following command:
mysql -uUser -pPassword CafeTownsend < ~/Documents/ insert. sql
This command uses the insert. sql file to add tables and records to the CafeTownsend database you created in step 5. After creating the MySQL database, create a database connection to it in Dreamweaver.
Creating a database connection
The final step of the setup process is to create a connection to the database.
To create a database connection in Dreamweaver:
1. 2.
Open any PHP page in Dreamweaver and then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases). [. . . ]
