I am doing an image gallery. I am debating whether to cycle through my image directory to output html or to create an xml file and cycle through that outputting html. Which would be more efficient?

Hi guys. I have dabbled in PHP for a while. Mainly PHP parsing XML and outputting HTML. I have been learning on an "as needed" basis by reading documentation on php.net, but I would like to get a really good overview of PHP and MYSQL. I also have a large project looming. This project would be creating a reservation system and calendar. Do any of you have a suggestion on the books you have found especially useful, particularly, on PHP with MYSQL databases.

Sorry i did look at the manual. This was the example given thats why i was going about it the way i was. $filename = 'somefile.txt'; if (file_exists($filename)) { echo "$filename was last modified: " . date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($filename)); } This worked perfectly thank you guys. $date1 = date (filemtime($folder.$filename));

Hello. I want an xml document to update every five minutes. I want to check the documents last modified against the the value of time(). but i cant seem to get it formatted properly. What ( string $format , ) do i use to return an integer formatted like the integer returned by time()? Or i am i going about this all wrong? date (" ???string $format??? ", getlastmod($folder.$filename)) Thanks in advance guys

Hello, I have a project that is a little out of my scope. I need a product gallery and a CMS for it. Like a shopping cart only with no checkout. I can do this with Flash and mysql, or flash and xml, but SEO is important for my client. Does anyone know of writen script for sale, or would anyone be interested in writing it. I would do all the "skin" for it. I would provide styles and layout, I would just need someone to code it up. I attached a pdf that describes further what I need. Here is a link to my test site so far, it is just a home page: http://www.mattpaxton.com/testsDelete/woodheat/ [attachment deleted by admin]
