Introduction
This is a sample chapter from Beginning XML Programming
In this chapter you will learn:
- How to create XML elements using start- and end-tags
- How to further describe elements with attributes
- How to declare your document as being XML
- How to send instructions to applications that are processing the XML document
- Which characters aren't allowed in XML, and how to put them in anyway
Because XML and HTML appear so similar, and because you're probably already
familiar with HTML, we'll be making comparisons between the two languages in
this chapter. However, if you don't have any knowledge of HTML, you shouldn't
find it too hard to follow along.
If you have Internet Explorer 5, you may find it useful to save some of the examples
in this chapter on your hard drive, and view the results in the browser. If you
don't have IE5, some of the examples will have screenshots to show what the end
results look like.

Problem handling Redirects with MSXML2.XMLHTTP

Hi there
I firstly want to make it clear I am a total beginner when it comes to XHTML etc.
I am trying to write a number of pages based on some templates and have problems with CSS rendering.
For my CSS to render properly I have figured out I need the statement <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> in the first line of my php page. So far so good.
But for my php page to be able to include some statements from the database, I also need <?session_start();?> to be on the first line of my php page.
Whatever I try, I cannot figure out how to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers
John
it is very good and useful thanks
