runing xml

[aiden857181]

Hi all I have never used xml before so here’s the thing I want to put up an online catalog and I received a developers download from my stock provider this included images, create mysql database file, and a lot of xml files. I don’t have clue were to start. I know a bit about php, java script & html. can anyone give me a heads up on this or tell me what site I can visit to get started.

Thanks
Aiden

If using PHP 5, you can use the simpleXML functions (http://www.php.net/simpleXML) to parse the XML and manipulate the data. If using PHP 4, you can use the DOM XML (http://www.php.net/dom_xml) functions.
