Re: Can HTDIG process PHP-generated files from a database

Yes, you need to make changes to the header section of the php file (so  
that htdig knows what type of file it is receiving) AND configure some  
sort of external parser (if it is a file type that htdig is not able to  
parse, which it appears to be).

Make sure to read the section on configuring external parsers on  
htdig.org and the mailing list archives also contain quite a bit of  
correspondence regarding this topic (I think it even came up in the  
last 6 months...)

If you are unable to solve the problem, you might try telling us what  
content-type the files are, what version of htdig you are using, and  
what platform (windows, linux, mac, etc.)

Good luck,
