The SimpleXML extension is the tool of choice for parsing an XML document. The SimpleXML extension requires PHP5 and includes interoperability with the DOM for writing XML files and built-in XPath support. SimpleXML works best with uncomplicated, record-like data, such as XML passed as a document or string from another internal part of the same application. Provided that the XML document isn’t too complicated, too deep, and lacks mixed content, SimpleXML is easier to code than the DOM, as its name implies. It is also more reliable if you work with a known document structure.

To stay on the safe side, FreshBooks decided to disguise the new Rails app to appear as though it was still the old PHP version. Thanks to Rails’ flexibility, this was surprisingly easy to achieve. The heart of the disguise is a single line added to a routes.rb file.
map.connect ‘:fake_filename.php’, :controller => ‘php’, :action => ‘dispatch’
This takes what appear to be requests for php files and sends them over to the PhpController controller. In the dispatch action, we lookup the “filename” that was requested and map it to an action and a controller to actually handle the request.

It demonstrates all of the principles you need to effectively manage your ACL. On the other hand, if you already have created your own user management system, it should be fairly easy to take these techniques and implement them into your own project.
