Sorry for the beginner questions ..

So I understand that I should skip FormBuilder to integrate Xforms into external frameworks?

In fact my intended framework is PHP5 and I plan to generate Xforms by PHP5 and then run them on the XForms engine.

Is FormRunner the same as the XForms engine?

Is this a good starting point (integrating with java)?

My interest is to have a front end system (PHP5 based) which dynamically generates the xml creating the Xforms (by PHP and not JSP) to run on XForms engine.

From a tree structure with several hundred nodes each node in the tree requires one of a set of Xforms to be selected and data for that node submitted to eXist db, and later eXist to be queried for the Xform data.

I need to learn how to communicate between XForms engine and external PHP5 framework.

I read that this has been done with TYPO3.
