[Introduction] Now let's do a small example of applying xml in IE: solving the linkage problem of double drop-down menus. Perhaps the most common example is to select a province and then change the city options, so let's try to use XML to complete it. Some of the functions I introduced before were implemented directly using XML+XSL files.

Now let’s do a small example of applying xml in IE: solving the linkage problem of double drop-down menus. Perhaps the most common example is to select a province and then change the city options, so let's try to use XML to complete it.

I have implemented some of the functions introduced before directly using XML+XSL files. You may not be very familiar with its usage, so I will use HMTL+XML this time, hoping to make everyone more familiar with it. Clear understanding - "XML can be so simple!":)


Materials:
XML volume selection menu linkage
There are 2 files: Citys.xml and CitySelect.htm

Function:
After selecting a province, the corresponding city can be automatically displayed, which is convenient for users, effectively improves data interaction, and makes your page more colorful.
Effect:

Code:
Citys.xml

Postscript:
When I first started learning XML, I had the same confusion as everyone else - "I have learned XML, but how should I use it?" What? "This question has been holding me back for a long, long time...

Because e-commerce and software development are my expertise, I thought it would be better to start with what I am most familiar with. So I implemented some of the most commonly used functions in website construction in XML. You can do it too!

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
