Universal data management and serving using pure HTML-XML/RSS Tutorial-php.cn

Universal data management and services using pure HTML. However, in order to collect data, you need a data repository. To avoid many of the problems that come with using a database server, you can collect this data in xml. Here is the basic structure of our project:

<user>
    <first_name/>
    <last_name/>
    <mi/>
</user>

I initially limited the data to first name, last name and middle. The basic idea behind this page is that user information is obtained in this page. After the user information needs are satisfied, the process must be moved to the next logical collection step. To keep things simple I will wrap the user functionality into an asp class.

Function Coalesce(vVar, vAlt)
    If vVal = "" Or VarType(vVal) = 1 Or VarType(vVal) = 0 Then
        Coalesce = vAlt
    Else
        Coalesce = vVal
    End If
End Function

Public Property Get DOM()
    Set DOM = m_DOM
End Property
Public Sub saveUser()
    m_SQL.save "save_user", m_DOM
End Sub
Public Function validate()
    m_DOM.loadXML "<root>" & m_SQL.validateUser(m_DOM) & "</root>"
    If Not m_DOM.selectSingleNode("//error") Is Nothing Then
        validate = False
    Else
        validate = True
    End If
End Function
Private Sub collectData(dom, oCollection)
    Dim nItem, node, parent_node, n, sKey
    For nItem = 1 To oCollection.Count
        sKey = oCollection.Key(nItem)
        Set parent_node = dom.selectSingleNode("//" & sKey & "s")
        If Not parent_node Is Nothing Then
            For n = 1 To oCollection(sKey).Count
                Set node = parent_node.selectSingleNode(sKey & _
                                                        "[string(.)=&#39;" &
oCollection(sKey)(n) & "&#39;]")
                If node Is Nothing Then
                    Set node = dom.createNode(1, sKey, "")
                    Set node = parent_node.appendChild(node)
                End If
                node.text = Coalesce(oCollection(sKey)(n), "")
            Next
        Else
            Set node = dom.selectSingleNode("//" & sKey)
            If Not node Is Nothing Then _
                node.text = Coalesce(oCollection(sKey), "")

The CSQL class is built based on a data access layer (m_DAL) component MyPkg.MyDAL. This component is built based on the Fitch and Mather DAL components, which can be found on MSDN. This way we build a bridge between SQL Server and your code.

When the CUser object is initialized, it collects the Request data and uses the collectData() sub-function to put the collected data into a corresponding node in the UserDOM. (The code I won't explain because it's fairly easy to understand on its own.) After collecting the data (or not), we'll use XSL to transform the data content into a layout.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
    version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:if test="//error">
    <font color="red">*Information in red is required<br/></font>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//user"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="user">
    <font>
        <xsl:attribute name="color">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="//error[.=&#39;first name&#39;]">red</xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>black</xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:attribute>
    First Name:
    </font>
    <input type="text" name="first_name">
        <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="first_name"/></xsl:attribute>
    </input><br/>
    <font>
        <xsl:attribute name="color">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="//error[.=&#39;mi&#39;]">red</xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>black</xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:attribute>
    MI:
    </font>
    <input type="text" name="mi">
        <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="mi"/></xsl:attribute>
    </input><br/>
    <font>
        <xsl:attribute name="color">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="//error[.=&#39;last_name&#39;]">red</xsl:when>

    <input type="text" name="last_name">
        <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of

This stylesheet will convert content into layout. Error checking is important, and stored procedures check data by determining whether it needs processing. Returns an "errors" node for each field that cannot be empty but does not have data populated. The output of this XML is roughly as follows:

1	`<user>. . .</user><errors><error>first_name</error>. . .</errors>`

Note that if there is an error matching the node name, the resulting output will be red. We need the following ASP to combine all the previous things.

ASP code creates a CUser object and fills in the data if there is data. The resulting HTML is then created via XSL transformation using CUser's DOM. The transformation is wrapped into a function called xslTransform. Also, remember to store the resulting CUser DOM into a hidden element. Or you can store the CUser DOM into a session variable and get it out during initialization.

After completing this page, you can create other pages based on the previous skeleton code. You have now created a copy-and-paste scenario for data collection. The most beautiful part of this solution is that all output is pure HTML, without any browser-specific properties or stylesheets. And because the functionality is wrapped into classes, you can use XSLT to generate layouts and the code runs pretty fast.
