Dominic Myers writes about all sorts of stuff to do with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and a fair chunk of self-indulgent stuff. Thoughts and opinions are all his own, and nothing to do with any employer.

This is a rough of my own CV. Now I need to get SimpleXML to read this and put the right bits into FPDF and output the file... which should be easy enough really. Then I need a way of writing this type of XML to a database using a form... or something like that anyway... sorry, just mumbling to myself!
