Tennis on Campus Counter – XML Style

When I first started Tennis on Campus Counter, I put the scraped information into a comma separated for processing by the PHP scripts. This changed a few days ago however.

I recently dug deeper into the world of XML and started to think about how it could be of use to me. In the past I had always used XML for something someone else started. After I thought about it, I realized that TOC Counter was the perfect place for this. As such, I set about converting it to XML.

This ended up being a very simple process. The PHP parsing code is also now cleaner. Overall I was very impressed with how handy XML was.
