New article on "Exchanging data using the Spry framework for Ajax and PHP"

On Monday, we published a new article in the Dreamweaver Developer Center by Adobe Community Expert, Günter Schenk. Günter takes you through a technique he developed to create a dynamic image gallery in Dreamweaver CS3 by retrieving images from a directory and generating XML data on the fly. In addition to using the Spry framework for Ajax, Günter walks readers through some intermediate-level PHP scripts. He also provides the source code for the application so you can upload it to your PHP-enabled site and see it working.

You can find it here:

Stay tuned Dreamweavers. Next week we’re publishing a Spry case study by resident Spry expert “Donweaver” Booth.
