PriteshP23 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hello, I would like to know how i can develop interface between XML and MDB files? Actually, i need to convert files from XML into MDB and vice versa. Approximately, how much time it will take? Thanks in advanced for your input.

trq Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Approximately, how much time it will take? That would completely depend on your ability, and the amount of differing data that you have. How long is a piece of string?

From XML to Access: 1. Read xml with simplexml and store in vars 2. Connect to mdb with odbc functions or PDO odbc 3. Insert records using vars From Access to XML: 1.

PriteshP23 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 @AbraCadaver: It sounds good. Thanks a lot. Which one will be better ? Simplexml or DOMParser ?

PriteshP23 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think to read XML file only. Which one i should choose ?

AbraCadaver Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) I think to read XML file only. Which one i should choose ? You need to evaluate the complexity of your XML and project in general. SimpleXML is "simple" and somewhat limited. DOM implements the W3C DOM API, differentiates between element and attribute nodes and allows you to use PHP functions in XPath queries. So DOM might be a good choice. Start with that as it will give you more control.
