Hello,

I am just programming a catalog which should be printed.

I have a lot of data, text and pictures in a MySQL-database 
and want to generate a nice catalog with ConTeXt.
To get the data from MySQL to ConTeXt I use PHP as an Interface:

MySQL -> PHP -> ConTeXt

And lot's of ConTeXt-macros will make a nice layout :-)

To give something back to this ConTeXt-community, I will put 
some helpfull PHP-functions into the wiki of contextgarden.net.

Today I wrote the function "ConvertToConteXt" which converts 
special ConTeXt-characters. You can see it below.

Before I put it into contextgarden.net ...
1. ... please test it.
2. You see three characters, where I don't know the 
code-number \char??? for ConTeXt. Do you know them?
3. Did I forget to convert a character?

Regards
Jannis

  *      Convert special ConTeXt-characters with php
  *      Works with PHP5
  *
  *      Call it with the string you want to convert ...
  *         ConvertToConteXt ($xstring);
  *
  *      ... and you get back the converted string
  *
  *      e.g.:
  *      Input:
  *          $string = "My root-Directory: /home/hans";
  *          $string = ConvertToConteXt ( $string );
  *
  *      Output/Return:
  *          $string = "My root\\char45Directory\\char58 
\\char47home\\char47hans";
  *
  *      When you write this into a file ...
  *          file_put_contents ( "example.tex", "My 
root\\char45Directory\char58 \\char47home\\char47hans", 
FILE_APPEND );
  *
  *      ... You will find the following in example.tex:
  *          My root\char45Directory\char58 
\char47home\char47hans
  *
  *      An when you compile example.tex with ConTeXt
  *          context example.text
  *
  *      You can read the following in the resulting 
example.pdf:
  *          My root-Directory: /home/hans
  *
