HL7 Issues.

Need to convert HL7 to CSV and back again

[Bluesprocket]

Hi ...Need help converting an HL7 formatted message to something useable and back again...anyone done this?

I'm not sure anyone has done this before. Have you checked the online script repositories for anything that may help you? You might have to use an outside program and then class that program from within a php file using one of the execution methods. Let us know how you make out.

A quick look at the HL7 website suggests they use XML already. Could you use the PHP XML functions [php.net] to parse and work with the data?

Hey guys thanks for the input...Actually I found something called the Mirth Project that is an opensource system for doing exactly what I need. Thanks again.
