Daniel Convissor provides lessons learned from developing tools for parsing SportsTicker's XML data. SportsTicker transmits real-time sports scores, statistics and news in a continual stream, containing a wide variety of XML files. This month's presentation will cover the basics of using PHP's expat XML parser, easy validation routines and potentially helpful architectural tips.

Dan is the President of The Analysis and Solutions Company, a Brooklyn based web and database programming firm. He enjoys cycling, community activism and politics. These interests combine in interesting ways, such as his latest work: the BikeSummer 2003 website.

Join Dan and New York PHP this August (second installment of the July presentation) to get a leg-up on XML management and processing.
