Im trying to set up a page where it would list contacts, but the page needs to filter the contact based on location; ie:
<contact>
<name>Dave</name>
<area>LA</area>
</contact>
<contact>
<name>John</name>
<area>OC</area>
</contact>
so i guess i need to filter out the parent element <contact> based on the children element <area>
Im using kirupa intermediate tutorial to display the parsings. Is it possible somehow to query lets say ,page.php?area=LA or something using a XML as the database. I understand XSL can transform the data , would there be a way to filter either from a query result coding in xsl or in the php coding? is this even possible? So far i only can find mysql with the solution i need, but xml would be more convinient for me to do due to the database already bieng in ms access format.
thanks
