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.

Tennis on Campus Counter 2.1
Following the 2.0 rewrite of the data gathering tools, Â I am ready to release TOC Counter 2.1. Â This release does one major feature and several minor ones. Â Check out the list below for more information.
- Schools by state. Â The scrapper now pulls in what state each school is in, allowing us to put together some comparisons between all of the states. Â Data will start coming in 12/01/2009 with state information, and at that time you will see the new state information and statistics.
- Chart size adjustments. Â The charts have been widened and shortened allowing us to view them a little better
. - Individual Charts. Â Profiles now contain a chart of team number history if the team has any history of their roster number changing.
- Standardized Tables. Â All tables now look the same, and have the same sorting feature.
- Several bug fixes.
