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

 Aurora,
From what you say here, I don't believe that you will need to do
anything with external parsers - you say that the files can be indexed
okay, once they have been saved to disc?

If so, then all you need to do is get the MIME-type / file-extension
mappings to agree between htdig and the PHP server.
If you have any trouble with this, then post the relevant portion of
your config file, and/or the HTTP (not HTML) header of one of the
documents.
