I got a personal project in the brewing where I'm toying with the idea of using SVG for my imagery - making the site truly scalable. Internet Explorer is as usual the hiss-fitting cry-baby - so it requires a special diet of VML.

Question is: is there a way to on-the-fly convert SVG to VML? (Using PHP in the backend here) Or would I just have to save each SVG manually as VML?

If there was a nice way to convert SVG to VML with PHP I could cache the VML on the first time it's requested. Dynamically creating the alternative on demand. That would make it easier for me to maintain as I'd only have to worry about the SVGs.

Does anyone know of any good existing solutions out there?

I found that the Washington Post is using a technique for a widget that illustrates article relationships. http://ajaxian.com/a...ing-svg-and-vml
But I got no further to the SVG-VML technique they used.

Hey Thomas, as per the article, have you looked at the Raphael js library?

I'd prefer a server side solution that doesn't rely on client side scripts.
But thanks for the link.
