xmlxpert Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi, I'm planning in creating a forum and I decided to put all my data to a xml file. And so I decided this approach; section.xml = to view all sections thread.xml = to view all thread from a given sections message.xml = to view all messages from a given thread message(number).xml = to view all responses from a given message, number is a unique ID from a datafield in message.xml, a new file is created everytime a new message is made. Is this good? What is the best way in creating a forum anyways? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Considering the fact that posting requres interaction with the user and the server, I think the classical approach for the server side scripted forum is better at this poing. Mostly for security reasons. Using XML for every item that doesn't need to be secured sounds as a good thing though. Think about every possible situation that the user might to with the fully accessable XMLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
