Question Dear Alexander,
Im trying to generate a few simple scripts in XML and i just keep on failing I dont know why I was wondering if you could generate these simple scripts fromt this simple scenario atleast as a basic start (if u dont mind ofcourse):
Background:
A local live music venue wishes to extend its web-based information and booking
system.
Currently, the venue has a standard PHP and MySQL-based website allowing users
to view
events online. Customers may also book an event, though currently they do not
pay online; it
is assumed that they will pay on the door on the night.
The music venue would like to expand its system to take advantage of new web
technologies.
In order to expand the ways in which clients can interact with the system, they
wish to make
their information and booking system available as an XML-based web service.
- consider the different clients of the system (phones, other websites etc)
- Ensure your design allows users to receive personalized contents.
Dont Worry about the database, I have that, if you do actually do them leave the
database name blank.
Thank You Very Much

Answer This is not a trivial task. I would start by designing a WSDL (and XSD) which will define my implementation tasks. Then, you can redevelop the front-end to use these Web Services and so you will not only know how to help third-parity interface developers but will also keep the back-end synchronized. I may help you with that, but as I said - this is not trivial and if you want my cooperation, we can switch to a more interactive communication (Skype, GTalk, etc.)
