Hey hi.....


I was wondering if we can use InDesign to make something similar to
http://www.vistaprint.com/ .
In corporation with a PHP/MySQL database that is.

Would I be correct to assume that if I export the database to XML I can
somehow hook the datafields to variable textfields in ID?

Is this hard to do? Does anybody have an idea where to start?

TIA
