Introducing Bill from Salt Lake City

[bclark8th]

I have been programming in php since 2002. I am self taught and my code has gotten better and better.  It has been fun to be able to do more and more complicated things.

 

I started programming in Pascal. I have used basic, C, C++, and Java. JavaScript seems too easy to count it.

 

I would love to be able to help others.  I do have a question from time to time.  This is one of those times, that's why I was looking and found your site.

 

I'm currently expanding into web services because I have need to use XML to communicate with other servers.  I look forward to doing more with AJAX.

 

I'm always trying to be a better geek.

Welcome Bill.

 

I personally stick to json, xml has many types and also could have malformed issues a lot.

http://json.org/

 

json_encode()

json_decode()

 

Although I do output multiple formats using header types in my api's like html,json,xml. But that is my own data knowing is encoded and cleaned properly.
