I just created a php site which uses the XML file of the catalog. The site also allows minor editing of the XML data. The code is available upon request. Have a look at films.boubouni.com.
Wonderful, but I'd like a little help:
- Does it can be used locally in my PC?
I tried exporting my catalog XML in the same folder containing the program but, opening it with firefox I obtain:
If it is in PHP, you need a web server running PHP, even if it is for local use. Do you have one on your computer?
For local use there are all integrated solutions like EasyPHP.
To encode the XML file to UTF8, you can for example open it with notepad and save it as UTF8 (in the save as window, there is a field to chose the encoding).
You'll also have to edit the encoding in the header, specifying "utf-8" instead of "windows-1252" or "iso-8859-1" for example.
Thank you very much for the fast reply!
Now it works fine, but.... ant movie catalog can't open anymore the xml file so generated.
It must be opened through notepad, saved in "iso" and then reopened in amc. Quite annoying.
Same for you I guess....
