I'd suggest sticking to perl, c/c++, python or java :) These languages
are more widely supported and have a much richer library for parsing
DTD among other things. PHP3 and Zend are useful and serve their purpose,
but I do not suggest putting a huge load on them. They aren't very
portable and have database specific logic unlike the more generic
alternatives such as DBI and JDBC.
