PHP with cocoon?

[Kirk Storer <ba...@yahoo.com>]

I am working on converting a website the is currently
generated with PHP to using cocoon. I have several php
applications that are integrated into the webpages
(run each time the page is requested), for example
each page retrieves a news box from the mysql database
via php. Is there anyway to still use this php within
cocoon, and if not what direction do I need to head in
to recreate this functionality within cocoon?

Thanks,
Kirk

Kirk,

There's a PHPGenerator, but in the over two years I have been working with 
Cocoon, I have never been able to get it working.  The PHPGenerator is only 
useful if your PHP script generates XML.

If you're doing some MySQL stuff, take a look at the SQLTransformer, it's a 
quick and generally easy way of creating a view out of an SQL query.

If you're doing things like controlling application flow based off data in your 
SQL database, you should look into Cocoon's Flowscript.
