Geoffrey Harder : A Humanists Struggle to Understand Information as a Commodity
"Theories of information evolve in relation to the context of their culture and environment. An individual's ideas, once shared, become information for someone else.

"One machine will have the operating system of your choice, the web server of your choice and PHP on it. The other machine will have Windows, MS Access, and ODBC on it. The socketserver on the Windows machine will look for connections on a TCP/IP port, PHP will generate XML commands and send them to the socket server. The socket server will then execute the SQL statements in the commands and pass another XML document back to PHP. Finally, PHP will parse the XML document and manipulate the resulting recordset."
